Welcome to Memorial's 19th annual Festival of Trees –
A Winter Garden.

Gardening has always been a hobby of mine and that is why I chose to create a winter garden setting for this year's Festival of Trees. What better way to celebrate the holiday season than to surround yourself with the splendor of nature's beauty while spending time with the ones you love?

As you stroll through the Festival Garden, you can view over 150 trees, wreaths and centerpieces designed by community businesses, individuals, organizations and school groups. The Festival has so much to offer. Notice the meticulous detail on the more than 50 gingerbread creations on display in the Gingerbread Village. Indulge in a gingerbread cookie while enjoying live entertainment provided by local talent. Children can visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus, take a ride on the Candy Cane Express train or make a craft in the Children's Area. And before you leave, be sure to get a head start on your holiday gift shopping in the Holiday Market.

This event would not be possible without the support of our sponsors, designers and many wonderful volunteers who help bring this event to fruition. Their devotion and hard work are evident in every detail of this event.

I hope you enjoy all that our Winter Garden has to offer. To find out more about this year's Festival, please explore our Web site.

Best wishes for a happy, healthy holiday season.
