🎊 Festival of Wreaths Sponsor Spotlight on Carroll County Maryland Tourism 🎊

We're forever grateful to have the Office of Tourism's support once again for this year's festival! Throughout the year, Tourism supports some of the Arts Council's largest community events. They're the reason we can bring you amazing PEEPshows, sprawling Art in the Parks, and of course, cheery Festivals of Wreaths. We can't thank them enough!

The live display and online auction opens Black Friday, Nov. 24 at 10am on FestivalofWreaths.com!
