5,700 people visited this year's Festival of Trees!
We had visitors from
at least 39 states (as far as Alaska),
and 11 different countries.
From angels to nutcrackers, butterflies to birds, and football helmets to fishing lures, you’re
likely to see almost anything adorning the beautiful and creative trees at the fifth annual
Festival of Trees!
Our Festival is held annually at the historic Sidney and Berne Davis Art Center in Fort Myers, and best of all, visiting the Festival of Trees is absolutely free!
Our tree decorators compete for awards like the “Mayor’s Favorite,”
“Most Creative,” and “People’s Choice.” Each year, decorators find more unique ways to adorn their trees: Candy, teddy bears, and even paper dolls have rested upon pine branches. Others are decorated more traditionally, with ornaments, ribbons, and bows. Still more are ornamented with more unconventional fare, like power tools, dog toys, and sports memorabilia.
Opening weekend will feature the popular
Children’s Holiday Workshop ($5 admission). The final night of the festival
will be a centerpiece of the Fort Myers River District Holiday Stroll and Art Walk.
All proceeds earned at the Festival of Trees and Tux & Trees Gala benefit the Southwest Florida Goodwill Foundation.
