Our History

Several hundred people come to enjoy this joyful event each year!  During the Festival, businesses and individuals bid on trees and auction items or baskets for their lobby, living room, or to donate to a family that would otherwise go without. 

The net proceeds from the Festival are distributed to the seven schools of the Washougal School District.  All schools as well as their various groups, teams, and clubs are invited to contribute trees and auction items to the festival.  Each school principal is allocated 2 raffle baskets to share among their schools clubs and groups.  Schools receive the proceeds from the winning bids on their items or items donated on their behalf.  Any additional proceeds raised are equally divided among the 7 schools.
