Festival of Trees – Nov 30
Festival of Trees – Lighting Up Lives, One Tree at a Time
Presented in partnership with the Central Maine Betterment Collaborative, the Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce, and the AYCC.
What is the Festival of Trees?
Step into a magical winter wonderland where area businesses, organizations, and creative souls bring decorated trees to life – each one uniquely styled and filled with curated gifts. Guests purchase “tree tickets” for a chance to win their favorite tree & gifts, and every dollar helps fuel vital community support: tackling food insecurity and creating workforce development opportunities for the community.
