After 30 years, the Festival of Trees is evolving! Introducing the RBC Evergreen Gala. Taking place on Saturday, November 26th, 2022 at the Halifax Convention Centre, we are blending old and new traditions to help Nova Scotians living with mental illness and addiction.

For the last 30 years, the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia’s Festival of Trees has been Halifax’s most magical annual social event attracting leaders from business, political, public, and not-for-profit communities. In that time, the Festival of Trees has raised more than $6.5 million to support Nova Scotians living with mental illness and addiction. Debuting this year, the RBC Evergreen Gala is the newest addition to the Foundation’s roster of fundraisers. The signature Gala of this year’s Evergreen Festival, the RBC Evergreen Gala will feature many of the elements attendees remember from Festival of Trees including amazing cuisine, outstanding entertainment, exciting silent and live auctions, raffles, and photo booths - with some new and exciting surprises! With the continued support of Nova Scotia’s business and philanthropic communities, we’re confident the RBC Evergreen Gala will become one of Halifax’s premiere fundraising evenings.
