About this adventure

Taking place the Saturday after Thanksgiving directly across from the Mission Inn, the Riverside Festival of Trees is an inspiring holiday tradition benefiting the pediatric units of Riverside University Health System. The grand exhibit hall transforms into a winter wonderland filled with 50 exquisitely decorated themed Christmas trees designed by regional artists and florists. Children can participate in hands-on holiday craft workshops, write and mail letters to Santa Claus, enjoy scheduled storytelling sessions, and pose for photos with Santa. Families can also browse a holiday gift marketplace featuring local artisans, festive baked goods, and live musical performances by youth choirs.
