Through January 15, 2020

This annual exhibit of stunning holiday trees, decorated by regional designers and artists, will be open to the public starting November 12th and will run through January 15, 2020. Featuring over 40 unique designs, the Festival of Trees exhibition will be open during regular operating hours (Tuesday-Saturday 10 AM-5 PM) and is included with Museum admission.

Since the festival's inception in 1986, the signature exhibition and complimenting festivities have not only provided financial support for the Museum’s educational programs but also connected thousands of volunteers, local businesses, and artists to the institution. One of Macon’s favorite social events of the year, the 2020 Festival of Trees promises to be extraordinary thanks to a committee of 100+ volunteers and presenting sponsors Morgan Stanley and the Josephine Phelps Fabian Fund.

Festival of Trees, which was originally named Our Holiday Best, represents three generations of investment in the Museum’s educational programming. The staff and volunteers are proud to see these meaningful traditions continue to grow year after year to include such a broad spectrum of events that engage so many volunteers and attract diverse audiences. Offering high-quality programming while keeping Museum admission affordable for the families of Central Georgia is the Museum's greatest challenge – and one that it could not meet without the funds raised through the Festival of Trees.
