Festival of Trees

As the primary fundraiser for the Junior League of Kalamazoo, Festival of Trees has raised over $1 million to support the Junior League’s ongoing commitment to building better communities in the greater Kalamazoo area (JLK Fact Sheet) through community service projects and grants since its inception in 1989. To find out more about the Junior League’s methods for selecting the recipients of these projects and grants, or to review grant application, please click here.

This year marks the 20th annual celebration, held at the very heart of our city, in the Radisson Plaza Hotel & Suites in downtown Kalamazoo. Each year our community has embraced Festival of Trees as the begining of the holiday season. It’s a time of cheer, goodwill and happiness, working side by side friends, family and our community. It defines a time of year when the Junior League of Kalamazoo stregthens relationships among our membership and the Kalamazoo community. 

Festival of Trees offers two ways to celebrate the holiday season and to support the Junior League and their mission. One being the Special Events, offered Friday, Saturday and Sunday and the other, our General Admission attractions and entertainment.
