Voted Best Nonprofit Event of 2024, the Festival of Trees is a beloved annual tradition hosted by Hospice of Redmond, held on the first Saturday in December at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds. 

This festive celebration features two unique experiences: 

Daytime Community Event-- Free & Family Friendly!

Join us during the day for a joyful holiday experience open to the community. You can snap a photo with Santa Claus, enjoy live music from local performers, and marvel at over 30 beautifully decorated Christmas trees, generously donated and ready for auction. This event is free to attend and always draws a large, cheerful crowd! 

Evening Gala & Live Auction -- Ticketed Fundraiser 

As night falls, the magic continues with our ticketed evening event where attendees savor a delicious dinner, enjoy live entertainment, raffles, a silent auction, and participate in our exciting live auction featuring the stunning Christmas trees. All proceeds from the Festival of Trees directly supports Hospice of Redmond's community programs, helping us provide compassionate care and vital services throughout Central Oregon. 

Funds raised from Festival of Trees make it possible to provide services to terminally ill people and their families not covered by Medicare or private insurance. Your support contributes to the following programs:

Hospice Care – enhancing quality of life while providing end-of-life care and support for patients and their loved ones.

Transitions program – providing resources and support for those navigating serious illness.

Bereavement Services – providing healthy environment options in which family members can feel safe and accepted while navigating their grief.

Camp Sunrise – helping Central Oregon children by providing them the opportunity to learn and grieve in a safe, supportive, and understanding environment.

Pet Peace of Mind—We believe that no one should have to live without their pet when they are suffering from a life-limiting illness.

We are grateful for your support!
