Festival of Trees
- see all dates
ick off the holiday season by visiting Reading Education Foundation’s (REF) 21st annual Festival of Trees, a winter wonderland of decorated holiday trees donated by local families, organizations, businesses, and schools that festival visitors can win for themselves!
With close to 100 uniquely-decorated trees of all shapes, sizes, and themes, festival visitors can try their luck at winning the raffles for their favorite trees. In addition, children may partake in crafts offered by Creative Arts. There is local entertainment throughout both days including live performances by school choruses, bands, and local groups. Food trucks will be outside selling items at the event. Lucky winners of tree raffles will be selected at closing on Sunday night.
Saturday evening from 5 to 8pm, the Festival will host their popular “Night with the Trees.” There will be a children’s sing-a-long, games, and a reading of The Polar Express.
Tickets: $5/person, $10/family. Admission and raffle tickets are available in advance through REF’s website.
