Now in its 20th year of fun, the Festival of Trees celebration is a holiday event like no other. Even with all those elves, the fat man himself couldn’t have designed a better fantasy world than Kennedy Krieger Institute’s Festival of Trees.

It’s a three-day extravaganza of fairyland forests, gingerbread towns and toy train gardens, complimented by more than 100 craft boutiques, holiday goodies and activities for kids of all ages. You can also enjoy a special line-up of nightly entertainment for the whole family!

Festival of Trees is Kennedy Krieger’s largest fundraising event of the year and the largest holiday-themed event in the mid-Atlantic region.

Enjoy more than 500 beautifully decorated trees, wreaths and gingerbread houses plus holiday crafts shopping, amazing items up for grabs at the silent auction, hourly live entertainment and, of course, Santa!

In honor of their 20th anniversary celebration, the first 20 visitors each day will get in free!

The event takes place the last Friday, Saturday 10 am-6 pm and Sunday 10 am- 6 pm in November.
