Festival of Trees was created in 2020 to bring cheer to the Fond du Lac community and support local nonprofits. Festival of Trees encourages local nonprofits and businesses to donate fully decorated, artificial trees to be auctioned off during a special holiday event. Winning bidders can either keep their fully decorated tree or donate it to a family in need. Throughout our event, these trees will be displayed for the community to view and bid on, and participating nonprofits will receive the donation associated with the bidding amount at the Festival. In 2023, the Festival of Trees had 22 trees donated and they were able to donate over $4,000 back to the community through 25 different non-profit organizations.
