Lawrence Festival of Trees

Join us for the 38th Annual Festival of Trees at Maceli's in beautiful downtown Lawrence, Kansas. More than 55 trees, 25 wreaths, and gingerbread houses, donated by local individuals and groups, will be sold by silent and live auction.

The annual Lawrence Festival of Trees, held during the holiday season, is the primary fundraising event for The O'Connell Children's Shelter. Businesses, clubs, children's groups, families and organizations donate Christmas trees and wreaths to be displayed for the entire Lawrence community to enjoy. The trees and wreaths are all decorated with inventive and whimsical themes in mind, and are auctioned off at the gala Festival of Trees event.
