This family-focused, pre-holiday tradition transforms the museum into a sparkling forest of 26+ holiday trees uniquely decorated by creative local organizations, businesses, and individuals. The Festival is the museum's primary fundraising event, and proceeds support museum preservation and educational activities.
We would like to thank all of the decorators and local business sponsors who make this event possible. Nearly 50 groups, organizations, schools, and businesses, along with the museum's volunteer corps, come together to make this a true community event.
Festivities start at 7:30am | Lifts open at 8:30am
