The enchanting world of the Festival of Trees 2024 is hosted at the heart of our community, the White River Valley Museum. This year’s theme, “Once Upon a Time,” promises to whisk participants and visitors alike into a storybook realm filled with creativity and holiday cheer.
Running from November 20, 2024, to January 5, 2025, the Festival invites local businesses to deck the halls extraordinarily, all under the watchful eye of the organization Explore Auburn. Admission is free, allowing everyone in our neighborhood to experience the magic without a fee, fostering community spirit and togetherness during the holiday season.
About the Festival
As a longstanding tradition aiming to knit the community closer, the Festival of Trees shines a spotlight on local talent and businesses. This year, it beckons the business sector to step up, offering a unique opportunity to showcase creativity and connect with the community. Each participating party will receive a 7-foot artificial green tree from the museum to adorn, with the dazzle and sparkle dictated by this year’s mesmerizing theme.
The initiative celebrates holiday traditions and embarks on a mission to support the museum through creative collaboration between the local business community and the museum, enhancing the festive spirit in Auburn.
Moreover, creativity knows no bounds, yet a few guidelines ensure the Festival of Trees remains a safe and enchanting experience for all. Decorations should illuminate not just through literal lights but also through the innovative interpretation of the theme. However, to maintain safety and aesthetics, the restrictions include avoiding food, live plants, anything combustible, or materials that could alter the provided trees permanently.
It’s the perfect challenge for businesses to differentiate themselves while fostering their team’s creativity and spirit. And let’s not forget, the event culminates in a People’s Choice Award, offering bragging rights and an exclusive opportunity to rent the museum space for an event in 2025, adding a competitive edge to the friendly community gathering.
Be There For The Last Days!
The Festival of Trees is more than just an event; it’s a testament to our community’s resilience, creativity, and holiday spirit. It offers a platform for local businesses to engage with the community uniquely and memorably, promoting unity and joy in our lovely neighborhood. So, dust off your ornaments, brainstorm your fairy tales, and join us in making the Festival of Trees 2024-2025 an event to remember. Let’s turn “Once Upon a Time” into “Happily Ever After” for our local community this holiday season.
