Don't miss the 30th Annual Festival of Trees from Nov. 15 - Nov. 30 (open Tuesday-Saturday, 11 am-5 pm; closed Thanksgiving) at the Tread of Pioneers Museum. Yampa Valley Bank is once again our generous primary sponsoring underwriting this event.

This family-focused, pre-holiday tradition transforms the museum into a sparkling forest of 26-holiday trees uniquely decorated by creative local organizations, businesses, and individuals. The Festival is the museum's primary fundraising event, and proceeds support museum preservation and educational activities.

We thank the decorators and local business sponsors who make this event possible. Nearly 50 groups, organizations, schools, businesses, and the museum's volunteer corps, come together to make this a true community event.

The Festival of Trees offers something for everyone.

The Festival is a great opportunity for families to take holiday photos in the trees for Christmas cards or to send to the grandparents. While you're here, vote for your favorite tree or find the golden keys hidden in the trees.

All local families are invited to Pioneer Christmas Story-time for Kids on Saturday, Nov. 16 at 11 am. You can also get your holiday shopping done early in the one-of-a-kind Museum Store where you'll find locally-made products, historical photographs, books, and toys that will delight everyone on your holiday shopping list.

With the generosity of our sponsors, all Festival of Trees events are FREE to all Routt County residents; regular admission prices for out-of-town visitors. Don't miss the light and magic of the Festival of Trees!
