This Weekend: Ann's Place 20th Annual Festival of Trees, Nov. 18-20

The Summit in Danbury

By Meghan Friedland, Publisher/Editor, Macaroni KID Greater Danbury, CT November 4, 2022

It is the start of the most spectacular time of the year and with that it is time to Celebrate 20 Years of Magic! Join us in the excitement of the 20th Annual Festival of Trees to benefit Ann’s Place, live at The Summit in Danbury from November 18-20, 2022. Raising over $3.5 million since 2003 to support area cancer patients, it is the largest annual fundraiser for Ann’s Place.

There are so many fun things to do for the whole family at the Festival of Trees!  Take a stroll down a winter wonderland of beautifully decorated trees and then try your luck with awesome raffle prizes and an online auction. Be sure to check the website frequently to see activity updates at annsplacefestivaloftrees.org.

You may continue your holiday fun and shop for all your gifts for the holidays! There is something for everyone on your holiday gift list at the Festival of Trees Boutique. Enjoy many wonderful gifts including artisanal and handmade items that can’t be found in department stores; truly one of kind!

You didn’t think we forgot about the kids, did you? The Children’s Winter Village programs are back live this year! In addition to the joy of viewing the decorated trees, each child, age 3-11, will enjoy face paintings, crafts, coloring, photos with characters and so much more!

Last but certainly not least, adults 21+ can join us at the Taps & Trees Beer Fest on Saturday, November 19th from 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm. This is truly a fest within a festival, as you will partake in tastings in the Tap Room of local beer and other libations. There will be live music and pub grub by Marketplace restaurant. The best part is that you will have full access to the multitude of trees, shopping, and raffle prizes. The first 400 guests to arrive will receive their very own souvenir glass! This will be an awesome date night or a night out with friends. We hope to see you there. Take a look to see which brewers will be pouring: https://www.annsplacefestivaloftrees.org/tandt
