Open this year from November 22nd through November 30th, 2024, The Shriner Parade of Trees is a raffle-style parade of trees. Local area businesses and clubs donate the tree, the gifts, and the time so area Siouxland families can come and enjoy the festive activities and still have a chance at one of the beautiful trees. The Sioux City and Sheldon offices put their creativity to work, creating a colorful Crayola-themed tree.
Shriners International is a fraternity based on fun, fellowship and the Masonic principles of brotherly love, relief, and truth. With nearly 200 local chapters and thousands of clubs on six continents, Shriners are known for their fellowship, brotherhood, compassion and generosity. Established in March 1907 with 30 nobles living in Sioux City, Abu Bekr Temple has grown over the past 100 years to encompass a wide area that includes much of Western Iowa.
Their mission is to provide a supportive community for our members and to give back to the community through charitable works and events.
