Festival of Trees


The Festival of Trees is one of the best Holiday activities to get you in the Christmas spirit. Located in the Expo Center in Sandy, this event combines Christmas decorations with the spirit of giving.

The Festival of Trees is essentially a fund raiser where hundreds of trees are decorated with different themes and placed on display to be auctioned off. The themes range anywhere from classic Christmas to Western, Barbie to Star Wars. All proceeds are donated to the Primary Children's Medical Center.

The interesting thing is, each one of the hundreds of trees is inspired by someone's story. There are pictures of the individual for whom the tree is made and numerous volunteers ready to tell you all about the person.

Admission is only $4 for an adult, $2 for seniors and children. But make sure to bring cash, they don't accept credit cards.
