Get Ready for Festival of Trees!
Holiday magic and support for the Pete Moore Hospice House
We can’t wait to welcome you to Festival of Trees next week! If you don’t have your tickets yet, get them here or at the door. Now in its 32nd year, Festival is a cherished Eugene-Springfield tradition, officially launching the countdown to the local holiday season. The stars of the show – 48 extravagantly decorated trees by talented volunteer designers – are accompanied by a lineup of family-friendly events and attractions.
Festival of Trees not only brings joy but also raises crucial funds for end-of-life care through Cascade Health services and the Pete Moore Hospice House, Lane County’s only hospice house. Because insurance does not cover the cost of operating Lane County’s only hospice house, we depend on contributions from generous community members and events like Festival to continue providing hospital-level care in a home-like setting.
Families can enjoy craft activities, visits with Santa, and live music while adults browse the silent auction Festival Marketplace, featuring artisan wares from local vendors. Craft workshops for all ages, including painting, ornament-making, and cookie decorating, are included with Tour of Trees admission. Bid on your favorite tree or on something to put under it – there’s something for everyone in our silent auction, which features gift cards to local restaurants and stores, baskets of amazing goodies, and fun experiences for 2025. Check out the auction packages online and start bidding on Tuesday, Nov. 26, here.
