Festival of Trees signals the arrival of the holiday season in Orlando, and this years event returns to spread joy and cheer from Nov. 16 - 24, 2024. Do not miss it!
The joyous holiday season is upon us. If you’re ready for tradition, holiday cheer, and inspiration, Festival of Trees will have you in the holiday spirit! The annual fundraising event returns to deck the Orlando Museum of Art halls from Nov. 16-24.
The ten-day holiday event, presented by the Council of 101 and Platinum Premier Sponsor Orlando Health, celebrates its 38th year with the theme “Let the Joy of the Season Shine.”
"We love bringing to life this annual tradition that not only brings joy to so many, but also raises money for the museum and educational efforts," said Allison Hudson, President of the Council of 101. "Through the Council’s events, we donated a record $510,000 to OMA this year. The work is all worth it, seeing the holiday spirit among guests as they visit the event.”
During the Festival of Trees, visitors can admire over 50 designer-inspired decorated trees and wreaths, all of which are available for purchase.
In addition to the trees, there are artisanal gingerbread creations, pop-up shops, stunning holiday vignettes, and drawings for holiday-inspired tabletop displays throughout the venue.
This year, guests can also enjoy the original, custom-fabricated Rotunda Tree at the entrance to the museum.
