## Why go

A forest of themed 7-foot trees in the UPS tennis pavilion, Santa, and a gift shop — free to walk through, with a toy donation if you can.

## What happens

Saturday, November 28, and Sunday, November 29, 10am to 4pm. More than 20 uniquely themed 7-foot trees, mini trees and wreaths, a free photo and visit with Santa, the Mary Bridge Brigade gift shop, and kids' activities (some free, some a small fee). Proceeds benefit the Mary Bridge Children's Heart Center.

## Good to know

Admission is free. Guests are encouraged to bring Play-Doh, Matchbox cars, or card games (Uno, Monopoly Deal) for patients. The gala and tree auction is a separate ticketed night on December 5; this listing is the public days only.

**Next year:** public days are usually the weekend after Thanksgiving; check the Festival of Trees site for 2027 dates.
