Orlando is about to glow a little brighter this holiday season! The Festival of Trees, presented by the Council of 101, returns to the Orlando Museum of Art from November 14 to 22 with its 40th annual celebration, themed “Forty Seasons of Joy.” For nearly four decades, this beloved tradition has marked the start of the holiday season in Orlando, and this milestone edition promises to be the most dazzling yet.
Guests will wander through galleries filled with more than 50 designer-decorated trees, festive wreaths, gingerbread creations, holiday vignettes, and tabletop displays. Visitors can shop in the Holiday Boutique, stroll down Santa Claus Lane, enjoy live entertainment scheduled daily, and dine in the Festival Café. On weekends, Santa Claus himself will be on hand for photos and meet-and-greets from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The celebration also brings special ticketed events: an Opening Night Treeview Party on Friday, November 13, Breakfast with Santa on November 14, 15, and 21, and creative holiday workshops throughout the week. Daily hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $23 for adults, $15 for children ages 3 to 12, and $15 for seniors, active-duty military, and first responders with valid ID. Tickets are on sale now via Eventbrite, and full details are available at councilof101.org.
Supported by platinum presenting sponsor AdventHealth, the Festival of Trees is one of Orlando’s most joyful family traditions. Mark your calendar and let the joy of the season shine!
