The Southwest Virginia Museum Historical State Park is pleased to present the 30th Annual Festival of Trees. The Festival of Trees will begin on Sunday, Nov. 9 through Wednesday, Dec. 31. An incredible feat of community creativity and involvement, the Festival of Trees leaves all four floors of the stately Victorian home that houses the museum’s collections, lavishly decorated for the holiday season.
Volunteers from the Southwest Virginia region continue these traditions by decorating holiday trees, mantels, doorways, and banisters throughout the Southwest Virginia Museum, sharing their creative talents and holiday spirit with all who visit the site. This year, over 80 groups will contribute their time and talent to create truly beautiful displays.
Visitors may tour the Festival of Trees from Nov. 9 through Dec. 31, during regular museum hours and during special “night viewings.” Night viewings are scheduled from 5 to 8 p.m. on Nov. 28 and 29. On Friday, November 28 the park will offer free admission with a donation of one canned food item per person. This is for one night only.
December night viewings are Dec. 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20, and 26, 27. Regular admission rates apply, adults – $5, children 6-12 – $3, and children under 6 are free. Group rates are available for parties of 10 or more. For more information about the Festival of Trees, please contact the Southwest Virginia Museum Historical State Park at (276) 523-1322.
