For nearly four decades, the Council of 101’s Festival of Trees has marked the start of the holiday season in Orlando. The tradition returned to the Orlando Museum of Art Nov. 15–23, with it's 39th annual celebration themed “A Season of Celebration.”

Guests were surrounded by dazzling displays including more than 50 designer-decorated trees, festive wreaths, gingerbread creations, holiday vignettes, and tabletop displays.

Guests participated in the silent auction and exciting drawings. Visitors shopped in the Holiday Boutique, stroll Santa Claus Lane, enjoyed live entertainment , and dined in the Festival Café.

On weekends, Santa Claus was on hand for photos. New events for this year included creative holiday workshops , a Holiday Home Tour, and returning favorites - the Opening Night TreeView Party, Breakfast with Santa, and the children’s Reindeer Romp party added a special holiday touch to this year’s Festival of Trees.  

It was best of the holiday season for the whole family ! Mark your calendar for Festival of Trees 2026, Nov. 14-22
