Ann's Place proudly presents the 22nd Annual Festival of Trees: “Celebrating Traditions.” Marking the official start to the holiday season, this much-loved event will take place from November 22-24, 2024, at The Summit in Danbury. Join in the fun as The Summit transforms into a magical winter wonderland featuring beautifully decorated trees, each representing a story of resilience and triumph over cancer. Lovingly created by local artisans, these extraordinary trees will ignite the holiday spirit in everyone while serving as a symbol of hope, reminding us of the strength and courage displayed by those affected by cancer.
Throughout the weekend, Ann’s Place will celebrate the many traditions of our local community, featuring live performances from dancers and musicians from cultures around the globe. On Saturday and Sunday, the stage will come alive with renowned local talent, including Swing Set and $2 Hat.
This year’s Festival of Trees includes a wide array of holiday activities for individuals of all ages. Live music and entertainment, raffles, shopping and children’s craft activities will be featured throughout the weekend. Get a jump on holiday shopping and enjoy delicious nibbles and a free drink at Sip, Stroll & Shop on Friday November 22 from 4pm-7pm.
