The annual Festival of Trees at the MetraPark is a 3-day event hosted by the Family Tree Nurturing Center that starts off with an annual Gala where you can stroll through a winter wonderland while sipping champagne and enjoy 40 beautifully decorated trees.

All dollars raised at the festival go toward the many child abuse prevention programs in place at Family Tree Nurturing Center.

On Friday, you can enjoy Tea in the Trees, a gift boutique, gingerbread house contest, live entertainment, and a carnival to end the night. On Saturday, you can join storytime with Santa and snap your holiday pictures with the jolly big guy!
