Festival of Trees
Cecil Anchor PointJoin us for one of Cecil County’s favorite holiday traditions! The annual Festival of Trees, November 14th through December 5th, transforms the tent behind Woody’s Crab House in North East into a festive display filled with beautifully decorated trees, twinkling lights, and holiday spirit. Admission is free and open to the public!
Stroll through a dazzling display of uniquely decorated trees, each generously sponsored and decorated by local businesses, organizations, families, and individuals. Together, they fill the tent with creativity, generosity, and the magic of the season.
The Festival of Trees is a silent auction event, giving you the opportunity to bid on your favorite trees throughout the Festival. The auction closes December 5th at 4 PM, and winning bidders can take home their trees immediately following the close of the auction, just in time to enjoy them for the holidays.
This year, proceeds from the Festival of Trees benefit Keys to the Future, Cecil Anchor Point’s capital campaign focused on creating interim housing and independent living support for youth aging out of foster care.
Every tree sponsored, decorated, and bid on helps move us closer to unlocking independence and building brighter futures for local youth.
Bring your family and friends, make holiday memories, and celebrate a beloved Cecil County tradition while supporting an important cause right here in our community.
