2024 Festival of Trees

The event will take place from November 29 to December 7, 2024. Check back soon for more details!

Kicking off the Friday after Thanksgiving, Festival of Trees welcomes the community to a winter wonderland of beautifully decorated trees and family fun in the lobbies of the Union Colony Civic Center.

Visitors can tour the trees during public hours, enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride, look through a wide range of gifts in the silent auction, or attend one of the festival's signature events.

Don’t miss a visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus! All proceeds made during this event will support the Union Colony Civic Center and the Greeley Philharmonic Guild.
