The Lady Lake Library is inviting the community to participate in the Festival of Trees, a heartwarming holiday celebration that welcomes families, schools, non-profit organizations, and businesses to showcase their creativity.

The Festival of Trees is an opportunity for participants to decorate their very own Christmas trees, which will be prominently displayed at the Lady Lake Library throughout the holiday season. This event is open to all individuals and groups interested in spreading joy while showcasing their organization.

Space is limited, so interested participants are encouraged to apply online at ladylake.org. Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The deadline to submit is Nov. 1, 2023. Trees must be decorated on Nov. 17 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Trees will be on display at the Lady Lake Library from Nov. 20, 2023 – Jan. 3, 2024. Residents will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite tree. Votes will be tallied with an award given for best design.

“The Festival of Trees is a fantastic opportunity for the community to come together, get creative, and spread holiday cheer,” said Aly Herman, Director of the Lady Lake Library. “We believe this event will foster a sense of togetherness and community spirit that is so important.”

The Lady Lake Library is excited to see the imaginative and festive creations that will grace the library this holiday season. The Festival of Trees promises to be an event that brings the community together and shares joy during this special time of year. Whether you’re an artist, school, local business, or a nonprofit organization, we invite you to showcase your unique talents and bring a touch of holiday magic to the Lady Lake community.
