About this adventure

Now in its 42nd annual year in Dearborn, the Festival of Trees transforms the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center into a glittering forest of more than 100 professionally decorated Christmas trees, wreaths, and handcrafted gingerbread houses. All trees and wreaths are custom-designed by Michigan artisans and available for auction, with 100% of proceeds supporting pediatric research at Children's Hospital of Michigan. Families can stroll through the climate-controlled exhibition halls admiring intricate holiday displays, watch a model train display wind through miniature winter villages, and visit Santa Claus inside his cozy workshop. The entire facility is fully ADA and stroller accessible, offering an easy and inspiring indoor holiday escape for families with toddlers and grandparents alike.
