Throughout the weekend, Festival-goers can expect to see more than 800 decorated trees, wreaths and gingerbread houses designed by area businesses, community groups, schools and individuals. They are truly a forest of creative expression, often referencing trends from the current year, like popular songs, movies or personalities. Attendees can expect to see lots of lights, handcrafted ornaments, and elaborate tree skirts as well.

Santa will be on hand throughout the weekend to discuss holiday wish lists and pose for photos. Amusement rides, games and crafts promise to keep young elves engaged, and there is live entertainment throughout the three-day event.
