Festival of Trees

Discover a collection of beautifully decorated Christmas trees at the 7th Annual Festival of Trees, presented in partnership with Nathan Benderson Park Conservancy! This festive showcase and silent auction features more than 30 creatively themed trees designed by local charities throughout Sarasota-Bradenton. From Dec. 4-17, step inside a winter wonderland in the West District at UTC to admire the trees nightly from 6:30–9 p.m. Vote for your favorites and bid in the online silent auction for a chance to take a tree home when the showcase concludes on Dec. 17. Best of all, 100% of the proceeds from each tree benefit its participating charity.
