This annual event is the largest fundraiser for Blank Children's Hospital and is a central Iowa tradition to kick off the holiday season. The 39th Annual Festival of Trees & Lights will feature: beautifully decorated trees, special performances from local music and dance groups, the opportunity to take a photo with Santa, a scavenger hunt, fun crafts and activities, and the chance to read impactful stories of children cared for at Blank Children's. In addition, visitors can shop the Holiday Gift Shop to purchase specialty bakery items and more.
