18th Annual Festival of Trees
About this Event
NEW Opening Day!
For the first time ever, we're opening before Thanksgiving! Our opening day for 2027 will be Wednesday, November 25. Kick off the season at Festival of Trees with your family and friends as you go into the holiday weekend!
Open 11/25 through 12/28 (days, hours, and pricing below)
What You’ll See & Do
Dozens of Themed Holiday Trees
Local organizations and families decorate trees with creative themes—from classic holiday styles to playful designs. You can also purchase raffle tickets onsite for your chance to win your favorite tree!
Snow Village Trains
Step into a miniature holiday world where HO & O scale model trains wind their way through festive villages and familiar scenes—Boston at Christmas, Fenway Park, the North Pole, and more. Skaters twirl across ice rinks, Santas hide in the details, while hundreds of twinkling lights bring every scene to life.
Holiday Garden Lightscapes
Holiday lights and decorations fill the Garden. See the Garden at Elm Bank in a new light with holiday lightscapes, magical displays, and the perfect photo opportunities. Finish your visit roasting marshmallows for s’mores by the firepits, included with your ticket.
