A cherished holiday tradition will return to the Boise Centre November 27 – December 1. The Saint Alphonsus Festival of Trees is celebrating the 40th year of transforming the Boise Centre into a spectacular winter wonderland while kicking off the holiday season for the Treasure Valley community.

The Festival of Trees opens with a black-tie gala on the evening of November 26 and concludes with our fun and festive fashion show on the afternoon of December 2. Tickets are almost sold out and must be purchased in advance. The Festival of Trees is Saint Alphonsus’ largest fundraiser and funds raised at the event address critical healthcare needs in our community. Since the first Festival in 1983, more than $15 million has been raised to help Saint Alphonsus deliver the highest quality care possible.

In 2024, 100% of the net proceeds generated from this event will be dedicated to expanding the crucial services offered by our Cancer Institute. Make a profound impact on the fight against cancer by supporting the 2024 Saint Alphonsus Festival of Trees that will enhance our oncology services, ensuring that patients have access to life-saving preventive care, early detection screenings and cancer treatment offered by our Cancer Institute at Saint Alphonsus.

The Saint Alphonsus Festival of Trees will delight families and children of all ages. In addition to the lavishly decorated Christmas trees, the Festival offers visits with Santa Claus, performances from local entertainers, choirs and musicians, and hosts a variety of special features including our gift shop, train and LEGO displays, a scavenger hunt, talking tree and more.

There are a variety of ways you can get involved including sponsorships, attending the Gala or Fashion Show, lending a hand as a volunteer or by simply marking your calendar to join us November 27 – December 1. Be prepared and skip the line! Public holiday show tickets for the Festival of Trees are available online now. Prices are $10 for adults and $6 for seniors, military, and children.
