The festival features an exhibit of holiday trees, hand-decorated and displayed by local merchants and organizations.

The Kootenai Karacters will entertain children as the elves and a professional photographer will be on hand (personal cameras are welcome).
Saturday’s gala begins at 6 p.m. and continues until midnight. Bryan Lloyd will entertain among the trees. An auction, raffles and hors d’oeuvres are all part of the evening. The event raises money for St. John’s Lutheran Hospital’s new building project.
