A Celebration of the Trees of Qualicum Beach!
Grab your camera and step into nature!
We are looking for the most stunning images of trees in Qualicum Beach. Show us their strength, their beauty, their significance.
From towering giants to delicate saplings, trees enrich our lives and landscapes. This is your chance to highlight a tree through your own lens – unleash your creativity and show us the trees that move you!
Open to photographers of all skill levels and all ages, the photograph must be of a tree with the municipal boundaries of Qualicum Beach, and taken within the last 12 months.
Photographs will be judged by an independent committee who will consider criteria such as impact, originality, creativity, perspective, and technicality. Prizes for Adult and Youth categories will include having your photograph professionally framed and exhibited, and a gift certificate for a local business worth approximately $100.

All The Pretty Things!
“Pretty Old Things”
The delightful, the charming, the unique.
But also, the pretty, the old, and the pretty old.
Visit the QB Museum to experience an enchanting snapshot of the museum’s collections. Rarely-seen, this collection of unique objects will transport you to a historically decadent time!
Many of the objects on display have never been exhibited, and include clothing, jewelry, and portraiture. These items and their stories provide a sneak peek into the ‘treasure chest’ that is the Qualicum Beach Museum.
On display June 10 – September 13, 2025.
