The Cleveland Play House will host the Festival of Trees again this year from Nov. 27 to Dec. 24. The event will showcase more than 20 different trees that are decorated by local designers, with each tree adorned based on a different theme or style. 

This year, guests can participate in the tree decorating by making their own “memory” ornament to hang on the “memory” tree that will be filled by festival goers.

The event usually has a speciality cocktail for sale and activities for kiddies to partake in while you sip. It’s free and open to the public, so why not go get in the holiday spirit? 

Tickets will also be on sale for the Play House’s rendition of A Christmas Story, running from Nov. 27 – Dec. 23. Christmas lovers, the Cleveland Play House has got you covered this year.
