Wickaninnish Inn Festive Fundraiser

At the heart of the Wickaninnish Inn's seasonal celebrations is the Festive Fundraiser, formerly known as our Holiday Lights Tour, part of the Inn’s ongoing sustainability journey. On Wednesday, December 9, 2026, from 6 pm to 8 pm, the Inn welcomes the coastal community and visitors to the area for holiday cheer and a chance to see the Inn transformed into a West Coast winter wonderland.

The Wickaninnish Inn team has been decorating for the holidays since opening in 1996, continually enhancing the elaborate indoor and outdoor decorations with the guidance of Tofino local and Wickaninnish Inn Ambassador Camilla Thorogood. The holiday décor is thoughtfully woven through the natural surroundings to add sparkle, but also aligns with the Inn’s commitment to sustainable practices, using energy-efficient lights powered by renewable energy and natural décor with cedar boughs, hand-made ornaments designed from seashells found on beaches adjacent to the Inn.

The Festive Fundraiser is raising funds for Fish And Loaves Society and Food Bank on the Edge. Guests can donate non-perishable goods (for Fish and Loaves) or cash donations (to be split evenly between Fish and Loaves and Food Bank on the Edge), and the Inn will match any cash donations up to a value of $2000.
