Festival of Trees
Showcase: November 21-22 10am-5pm
Step into a world of glittering Christmas trees as you experience the Vero Beach community’s welcome to the holidays, our 18th annual Festival of Trees. Shared Traditions, this year’s theme, will be reflected in each creative design, all depicting a favorite holiday tradition. Designer decorated trees, wreaths and a gingerbread village are highlights along with holiday shopping, children’s activities, a community songfest and café lunch.
