21st Annual Festival of Trees

'Tis the season and once again we are asking for your support! Our annual Festival of Trees proceeds goes to the Jasper-Yellowhead Historical Society Museum & Archives.

Festival of Trees ends on Sunday, Dec 12th at 5 pm. However, if a bid item receives a bid within the last 3 minutes that bid item will be extended by another 3 minutes and can continue back and forth for up to 30 minutes which is 5:30 pm.

Auction items can still be viewed in the museum with COVID protocols in place including the requirement to wear a mask.

Please check back often as we update the listing of available items, trees, baskets, and wreaths.

Once the silent auction is over we will ask you to call the museum at 780-852-3013 on Monday, December 13th and make an appointment to come down to the museum during the week of December 13th to pickup your winning item. Due to COVID we will need to spread out the pickups throughout the days. If you live out of town we can arrange delivery but you will be required to pay the shipping.

Due to high credit card charges the preferred method of payment is etransfer, cash, cheque or debit. But credit card is still an option.

No visit to Jasper would be complete without a stop at this charming hidden gem.  The Jasper museum tells stories through both permanent exhibits and temporary showcases that frequently leave visitors pleasantly surprised by their quality and detail!  Explore the history of Indigenous and Métis people in the area, the fur trade, the railway, European exploration, the story of Mt. Alberta's first ascent by Japanese climbers and early tourism in the National Park.  The museum is also home to a large wildlife collection; from moose to beaver, caribou to grizzly bear these critters on display throughout the museum will impress visitors of all ages!  Souvenir hunters will also delight in the gift shop, which is one of the best places in town to find local books, unique historical trinkets, and artwork by local artisans.
