2023 Festival of Trees

Kicking off the Friday after Thanksgiving, Festival of Trees welcomes the community to a winter wonderland of beautifully decorated trees and family fun in the lobbies of the Union Colony Civic Center.

Visitors can tour the trees during public hours, enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride, look through a wide range of gifts in the silent auction, or attend one of the festival's signature events.

Don’t miss a visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus! All proceeds made during this event will support the Union Colony Civic Center and the Greeley Philharmonic Guild.
