Tree of Hope Festival at the Landmark District

A Beloved Tradition, Now Bigger Than Ever

Celebrate the holiday season in the Landmark District with the return of the Tree of Hope Festival—an expanded day of festivities built around the iconic tree lighting that Kelowna has cherished for years.

Enjoy a full day of family-friendly fun, from faux ice skating (don’t forget to bring your skates!) and photos with Santa to a lively Christmas market featuring local artisans and handmade goods. Kids can write their Letters to Santa or get creative at the Craft Station, while everyone can cozy up with hot chocolate and s’mores or sample seasonal bites from our food trucks.

The magic begins at 5 PM with the lighting of the Tree of Hope, when the towering tree and the entire district come alive with dazzling lights. Stick around for live holiday music on the Main Stage as the celebration carries on into the evening.
