The 2024 Fantasy of Trees is upon us!
Thank you to all who came to the Grimsby Museum in 2023 and previous years, to see the Winter Wonderland we put on every year. Thank you to all our sponsors and donators, who without their contributions this annual event would not be possible. Thank you to all our volunteers and event teams who work throughout the year to make it happen.

Santa Day
Santa and Mrs. Claus visit the Fantasy of Trees on Saturday November 30th between 12:00 and 4:00 PM.
There will be opportunities to take photos and selfies or we can arrange to have photos taken and send them to parents later.
We have been honoured that Santa and Mrs. Claus can visit us in previous years. We are so excited that Santa will be able to visit again in 2024.
Online Auction
In addition to raffles for trees, wreaths and other items, we have recently introduced an online auction, which you can access anytime of the day from home, or even at the event itself using a QR Code. At the auction website, you’ll see the available item list, descriptions and photographs, current bids and you can make a bid yourself.
This year, the Fantasy of Trees Online Auction will start on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, one-day earlier than the event itself.
A Grimsby Tradition
In 2024, the Rotary Club of Grimsby is celebrating 25 years of hosting the Fantasy of Trees, transforming the Grimsby Museum into a winter wonderland of dazzling trees, cheerful door wreaths and lots of donated items.
Our event will begin on November 28th and the last day to visit is December 8th. Come see amazing trees, wreaths, decorations and donated items in person, join the raffle and don’t forget to join our online auction.
The Grimsby Museum’s gift shop is open during the event, during their regular operating hours.
Our Mission
The Rotary Club of Grimsby has contributed to various local causes and projects for 50 years in Grimsby, raising funds for local charities that support local residents.
The Fantasy of Trees is the club’s signature annual event and the raffle proceeds go to help 10 local registered charities.
