This year, our celebration promises an elegant dinner soirée surrounded by a dazzling array of magnificently adorned full-sized & tabletop trees, wreaths, and more.

Hosted by the dedicated members of the Junior League of Lower Columbia, this gala is not only a feast for the senses but also a philanthropic endeavor. All proceeds from both the live and silent auctions will be channeled to local non-profits that focus on the well-being of women and children, as well as bolstering the Junior League of Lower Columbia’s mission.

Since Dr. & Mrs. Holaday held the first Festival of Trees in 1984 to support patients of Radiation Oncology, this event has been a huge benefit to our community. Keeping all of the monies raised local, lets us not only provide Junior League of Lower Columbia college scholarships, but enables us to support other nonprofits who focus on the needs of women and children in our community.

Thanks to incredible community support, last year’s event raised over $139,000, directly benefiting women and children in Cowlitz County. Your generosity helped fund college scholarships, support local nonprofits, and meet urgent needs in our community.

Thank you for helping us create brighter futures for women and children in our community.
