In the toughest parts of 2020, Friend,  I could not have imagined ending this year with such a profound sense of gratitude.

But you helped light up the Forest of Miracles with love and joy.  Your generosity in supporting the work of the Lookout Housing + Health Society has helped us to end homelessness beautifully.

As of this moment, you've helped the Forest of Miracles raise $35,000 for Lookout.  Every penny of these donations will be matched by the Lookout Foundation, to bring us to a total of $70,000.  This money is already at work to provide a permanent home for homeless seniors in our community.

Especially in the teeth of the pandemic, the encouragement and life you brought to our season have been profound, maybe even life-changing, signs of hope.  We watched as families and friends gathered in the Forest of Miracles at a loving distance to exchange gifts and other signs of their love for each other.

For the very first time, we expanded the Forest of Miracles to cover West Vancouver's waterfront from Dundarave Beach eastward to Millennium Park and the Grosvenor Ambleside Galleria.

You helped to make this possible.

We remain deeply grateful to the
West Vancouver Community Foundation, the Ambleside Dundarave Business Association, Grosvenor Ambleside and MacLean Homes for helping us make this season a luminous of hope. Our heartfelt thanks to West Vancouver's firefighters for the heart and heroism they bring every season.  All of us owe them a profound debt of gratitude.  Please join us as well in thanking West Vancouver Mayor Mary-Ann Booth and Council for making certain this season the Forest of Miracles remained a beacon of hope.

The Dundarave Festival will return again for Christmas 2021; our fervent hope is that we will once again be able to gather for four Saturdays of fabulous, festive and free concerts in the Festival Longhouse.  Until then, to help close out the year in fine style, please scroll down to take in some of the music that warmed our hearts over the past twelve Festival years.

Love, joy and light come to you.
