The Orlando Museum of Art is poised to sprinkle a dash of holiday spirit with its 38th annual Festival of Trees. This tradition has lit up the museum with festive decorations and filled its coffers significantly. Slated to run from November 16 through November 24, the museum will transform into a yuletide paradise with hundreds of custom-decorated trees, gingerbread homes, and shopping pop-ups. Last year's event proved fruitful, with $510,000 raised to support the museum's programming, according to Bungalower.
Special events such as a "Tree View" kick-off party and a family-friendly Reindeer Romp, not to mention a Silent Disco Jam Party, promise to keep spirits high and footsteps light, as reported by Bungalower. In addition, "Breakfast with Santa" offers a side of syrupy pancakes with a dash of Christmas magic for the kiddos on multiple dates, outlined in yesterday's announcement.
But it isn't just about the greens and the sweets; this festival is also a shopping haven for those looking to get an early start on holiday gift-buying with exceptional wreaths, gingerbread houses, and a bevy of other festive items up for sale. "Let the Joy of the Season Shine," the theme signifies, is a nod to the holiday glow and the goodwill the festival inspires. As detailed in CitySurfing Orlando, visitors can expect more than just visual treats; they can also expect live entertainment and pop-up shops to round out the experience.
Interested parties can snag tickets for $20 if they're adults; for children, seniors, military personnel, and first responders, it's a reduced tag of $12. Parking, on the other hand, will set you back $7 daily. For those planning their holiday activities and looking for more details, tickets are available on OMArt.org or Eventbrite.com.
