The Gazette is proud to bring Festival of Trees to Eastern Iowa as the premier holiday event.
The Gazette, along with Co-Presenting Sponsors ESCO Group and IBEW 405 are thrilled to return Festival of Trees, the treasured holiday tradition, to Lindale Mall from Friday, November 14-16, 2025
From Santa and Mrs. Claus to a variety of cultural traditions from around the globe, Festival of Trees is about celebrating the holiday season for all. This majestic holiday experience offers classic and contemporary decorations, local artisans showcasing unique gifts, and activities/local entertainment for all ages.
The Trees
Attending Festival of Trees supports our area nonprofits. Every year, The Gazette designates a local non-profit to receive a portion of the tree auction proceeds and one local nonprofit as the recipient of the product drive donations.
This year’s recipient of the Festival of Trees tree auction proceeds is the Young Parenting Network (YPN) and the product drive donation proceeds will go to Foundation 2 Crisis Services. Visit these nonprofit websites to learn more about each of their programs and how you can support them before, during, and after the Festival of Trees.
In 2024 the team welcomed more than 11,000 attendees to take in performances, decorated trees, and holiday magic that is Festival of Trees.
To enhance the experience of Festival of Trees, the team has returned Sensory Day and added Senior Day to this year’s event lineup!
Holiday Vendor Market
In addition to the exciting trees, beautiful décor and nonstop activities, Festival of Trees is an opportunity to showcase local businesses offering unique, beautiful gifts for everyone on your shopping list.
