Festival of Trees

November 16 – December 31, 2023

The Festival of Trees, featuring dozens of uniquely decorated trees prominently displayed among our historic locomotives and exhibits, enchants more than 20,000 visitors each holiday season. Our Festival of Trees runs from November 16 through December 31, 2023.
