The Festival of Trees is a free holiday tree display that showcases beautiful, unique trees decorated by local businesses, civic organizations and nonprofit groups.
The in-person display and voting contest at the World of Energy is open to the public from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., Wednesday through Friday, and 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., Saturday. The World of Energy will be closed for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
