🎄 Calling all Santa's Elves! 🎄

The magic of Festival of Trees is made possible by an amazing community of volunteers, and we're looking for our next crew of Santa's Elves!

Thanks to the support of Bouchier, our Santa's Elves volunteer team will help bring the magic of Festival of Trees to life and create a fun, welcoming experience for guests throughout the weekend.

Whether you're a longtime Festival volunteer or looking to get involved for the first time, we'd love to have you on the team!

The beds were moving fast, but our community’s support went even further. 🏁

This year’s Hospital Bed Races brought 14 teams together and raised more than $71,000 for healthcare across Wood Buffalo. Watch the video for a look at the fun, the competition and the people who made it happen.

Thank you to our presenting sponsor, Birch Mountain Enterprises LP and to every racer, donor, volunteer, sponsor and spectator who joined us!

🏁 HOSPITAL BED RACES PARKING UPDATE 🏁

We're racing tomorrow! And if you've been to the Syncrude Athletic Park lately, you may notice things look a little different. With improvements underway at the park by the RMWB, parking at the event will be limited. Here's what you need to know:

Syncrude Athletic Park Main Parking Lot
- Limited parking will be available in the main lot at the park

Alternative Parking
- Additional parking is available at the skatepark and horizon parkview lot (see map below), accessible from Carteret Drive. There are pathways from these parking areas that lead directly to the main event area, so you won't have to walk far!

➡️ Look for the event signage at the corner of Cartier Road and Carteret Drive to help guide you to the parking areas.

Your Saturday plans are officially set: fast beds, friendly competition and a whole lot of fun! 🎉
