The Feztival of Trees is a family-friendly event that takes place at the Tripoli Shrine, 3000 W. Wisconsin Ave., from Saturday, Nov. 19 through Saturday, Nov. 26.
Every year, the Tripoli Shriners Feztival of Trees raises thousands of dollars for the Tripoli Shrine Center and the work they do. Now’s the time for your company or organization to get in on the holiday magic. And best of all, it’s creative, fun and doubles as a teambuilding event. #winwin
Here’s the deal: Your team donates and decorates an artificial, LED-lit holiday tree in whatever style best expresses your group: traditional, whimsical – the sky’s the limit. Then the tree is raffled off during the Feztival of Trees.
During the eight-day event, the trees are showcased to the public in the ballroom of Tripoli Shrine Center. Attendees walk through the Winter Wonderland showcasing 50 or more decorated trees, including the Shrine’s extraordinary 2-story tree. The event also includes pictures with Santa, hot chocolate, treats, holiday music, light shows and more.
Winners are pulled after the event closes on Saturday, Nov. 26 and may pick up their tree anytime after to enjoy it all season long.
Tickets are $5. All proceeds stay locally with Tripoli Shrine Center.
To donate a decorated tree submit an application by Saturday, Oct. 29. Space is limited. Setup times will be prearranged with your organization.
