Looking to get in the festive mood? BPAC's 8th Annual Festival of Trees will be sparking yuletide joy in patrons who visit BPAC between Nov 20 - Dec 15! 🎄

💚 Over 20 Pre-lit artificial Christmas trees, generously sponsored by local businesses, will light up our Lobby and Mezzanine for over 4 weeks – until their ‘winners’ take them home for the holidays!

Stop on by and place a bid for the chance to take home one or more of the beautifully decorated trees by entering our Silent Auction, all in support of the Burlington Performing Arts Centre.

👉 Tree Viewing Times: Tues-Sat from 12:00-4:00pm and one hour before performances
