Festival of Trees
It’s almost time for the most heartwarming event of the season: the Festival of Trees!
This is an amazing event, where nonprofits and businesses can create trees that speak to their mission and the services they offer our community. Whether that means setting out a tree-shaped stack of historic bricks (Fairfield Foundation) or a decorated Jenga pile (Community Engagement & Public Information), this display combines the excitement of the season with details about community services. In 2024, we partnered with businesses to put decorated trees in windows along Main Street. Then, last year, we decided to take things outdoors, and set up our decorated trees in the Tucker Store Pocket Park. For a week, folks could come check them out. This year, for the third annual festival, trees will be out in the park for an entire month: December 1 through January 1! Tucker Store Pocket Park also has a holiday photo backdrop, complete with on-demand falling “snow” (bubbles). It’s right off of the Courthouse Circle on Main Street, between John Lemon Lane and Gloucester County Building 2. Be sure to block off one of the days in December to drop by. The Festival of Trees is a great opportunity to have a unique holiday experience, take cute family photos, and to learn about the many services in Gloucester. If you have an organization that would like to participate with a tree, reach out grcfestivaloftrees@gmail.com. Final entry forms are due by Nov. 18.
