The annual Festival of Trees Victoria raised $145,000 for the BC ChildrenB次元官网网址檚 Hospital Foundation, bringing the total raised since the Bay Centre began hosting the event to over $1.6 million.

This yearB次元官网网址檚 festival transformed the Bay Centre into one of Vancouver IslandB次元官网网址檚 largest Christmas tree displays, attracting more than 650,000 attendees and featuring 91 trees decorated by local businesses.

The PeopleB次元官网网址檚 Choice award went to the tree sponsored and decorated by Experience Victoria and Regent Transportation.

For the first time, the Bay Centre took on production responsibilities for the event, introducing several new features, including refreshed branding, a dedicated Festival of Trees Victoria landing page with enhanced sponsor recognition, a visitor map, flexible decorating days, and a vote-by-donation system powered by Peloton Technologies. These changes contributed to the highest onsite voting revenue to date.
