The Northland's Largest Holiday Arts & Crafts Show The Junior League of Duluth (JLD) holds its annual Festival of Trees on Saturday and Sunday, the weekend before Thanksgiving. This event includes over 140 of the area's top crafters and vendors showing their wares. Due to the growth of this event, it will be held at the DECC this year.
For 2009, the dates are Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22. Festival of Trees is the Junior League of Duluth's largest fundraiser. Proceeds go to support community projects.
Other highlights of this event include JLD toffee and over 20 beautiful hand-decorated trees. This year we will continue our online auction for three weeks prior to Festival of Trees. In addition to gifts and services, many of our decorated trees can be previewed and bid on through the auction. The auction will run November 1 through November 22, 2009. Coat and Package Check will be available during Festival of Trees for a small fee through Friends of Little Treasures Center.
Festival of Trees is open Saturday, November 21 from 8 am to 4 pm, and Sunday, November 22 from 10 am to 3 pm. Cost of admission to Festival of Trees is $6.00. Bring a food shelf item for $1 off admission at any time throughout the weekend. Purchase tickets in advance any Junior League of Duluth member for $5.00. Admission for children 12 years and younger is free. Members of the public are welcome to volunteer at Festival of Trees!
