The 2026 Festival of Trees officially opens tomorrow evening. We cannot wait for everyone to see the creativity and talent that are on display this year.

To help everyone have the best Festival of Trees experience possible, here a few FAQ's to Know Before You Go:

🎄 The Festival of Trees will be on display November 6th-December 9th throughout the first floor of The Blennerhassett Hotel & Spa.

🎄 Is there an admission fee to view the trees?
No. The Festival of Trees is fun, festive, & FREE family activity!

🎄 When are the trees open?
The trees are available to view anytime that the hotel is open to the public.

🎄 What is People's Choice Voting?
Each tree and wreath has a designated donation canister. Guests are invited to vote for their favorite entry by place a donation in the canister. The entry with the most donations at the end of the festival will receive the People's Choice Award. This award is presented during the Tree Auction. All donations benefit United Way Alliance of the Mid-Ohio Valley.

🎄 What happens to the trees after the festival?
The trees are sold in the annual Tree Auction. Proceeds from the Tree Auction benefit United Way Alliance of the Mid-Ohio Valley.

🎄 Why do the trees come down so early?
The Tree Auction is held in early December so that those who purchase the trees are able to enjoy them in homes or offices for the holiday season.

🎄 How do I get tickets to the Tree Auction?
Tickets are available to purchase at uwamov.com/festivaloftrees

🎄 How can I get involved next year?
We love getting new decorators involved! Be sure you are following our page. This is where we announce all important tree information. Registration opens in mid-August.

🎄 Please do not touch the trees while viewing them. Members of our community and volunteers have worked very hard to create these displays. Please respect their efforts by admiring without touching.

If you have additional questions that were not answered here, please contact Morgan at [email protected]
