TreeFest logo
TreeFest, in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, begins with the area Christmas tree growers and donors who donate over a hundred live trees to be trimmed. Then, hundreds of people – from community volunteers and youth groups, to florists and garden clubs set up and decorate the rooms and trees which are each sponsored by an area business or individual.

Throughout the event, local entertainment> is provided, from school choirs to dance groups and folk musicians performing in front of the TreeFest mural. Adding to the holiday atmosphere, TreeFest-goers will be able to start their Christmas shopping with the dozens of professional craft artisans displaying their wares for sale, a gingerbread house contest and a special TreeFest auction to be held Sunday, November 30 at 7:00 p.m. You may be the lucky winner of our quilt raffle.

Volunteers from the community will be decorating wreaths and assisting those who want to make their own. Seventy five quality wreaths of fresh mixed greens are being purchased from Heritage Acres. Wreath decorating will take place from 10-4 on Saturday, November 24 and Sunday, November 25 from 12-4. Any unsold decorated wreath will be on display on the coat racks in the lobby and may be purchased for $25.00 during Treefest.

An elegant Scottish high tea TeaFest will be presented by Sharon Duff at the Caldwell Consistory on Monday, December 1 at 4:00 p.m. Only forty tickets ($25.00) will be available from October 1st through November 21st by calling Eileen Taylor at 784-6173.

At the conclusion of TreeFest the trees are donated to area families in need, as identified by social service agencies.
