Calling All Tree Decorators for
Reeves-Reed Arboretum's
Festival of Trees
Sunday, December 13, 2020
SUMMIT – Pull out the ornaments and untangle the garland! On December 13, Reeves-Reed Arboretum will be holding its first annual Festival of Trees, a Multicultural Celebration of the Holidays and we invite YOU to help make it a success!
The first step is easy - gather up your family, friends or colleagues and sign up to decorate a tree! The Arboretum will provide and set up the trees, you just need the decorations. Be creative, there will be prizes for the best decorated tree, voted on by festival attendees. Come to the Arboretum any time after 9AM on December 12 and begin decorating!
Then use your 2 complimentary tickets and return to the Arboretum on Sunday, December 13 to enjoy the event! The Festival will include arts and crafts that celebrate Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Christmas and the Solstice, musical entertainment, as well as food trucks and holiday vendors. And of course, our Festival would not be complete without Santa strolling through the gardens! After the event you are welcome to take your tree home or leave it on the Arboretum grounds.
The deadline to sign up for a tree is December 10, and with a limited number of trees, don't wait. Visit www.reeves-reedarboretum.org or call 908-273-8787 x 1010 for more information and to sign up.
