The Festival of Trees (Website), themed “A Season of Celebration,” will take place at the Orlando Museum of Art from Saturday, November 15, through Sunday, November 23. The annual event, now in its 39th year, is organized by the Council of 101 and serves as one of Central Florida’s most popular holiday traditions.
Guests will once again be treated to museum galleries that have been transformed with more than 50 designer-decorated trees, custom wreaths, and elaborate gingerbread houses created by local artists, designers, and community organizations. Each piece is available for purchase, with proceeds supporting the museum’s educational programs and community outreach. The event also includes daily entertainment, a Holiday Boutique for unique gifts, and the popular Toyland section featuring children’s holiday décor and collectibles.
Special events throughout the week include a Breakfast with Santa, an Ugly Holiday Sweater Party, the Sip and Sleigh cocktail evening, and family-friendly crafting workshops. General admission is $20 for adults, with discounts for children, seniors, active military, and first responders. Parking is available on-site at the museum.
The Council of 101 is a volunteer-based nonprofit organization that supports the Orlando Museum of Art through fundraising, event planning, and community engagement. It was founded in 1965 and is made up primarily of local civic and business leaders, art patrons, and volunteers who help promote the visual arts in Central Florida.
