Memorial's Festival of Trees features beautifully decorated trees and wreaths created by designers. These elaborate and imaginative designs create the magical atmosphere the Festival of Trees is known for.

Designer registration begins in July.

The trees and wreaths, along with identification signage, are displayed throughout the entire Festival. 

The decorated items will be selected by our sponsors during the Festival of Trees Gala, Saturday, Nov. 10. Items not selected will be for sale during the Festival.

The artificial trees and wreaths are provided by the Festival of Trees. Designers are responsible for providing all materials used to decorate their item. There is no fee to design a tree or wreath. Designers receive benefits based upon the item(s) they decorate.
