Festival of Trees kicks off the holiday season
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The joyous holiday season has begun with the highly anticipated fifth annual Festival of Trees Spectacular Party and Christmas tree auction, set to take place on Dec. 2 at 5 p.m.
The event will be located adjacent to Sophie's Day Spa at 3855 Main Street in Kelseyville.
It promises to be a magical evening full of cheer and festivities. Tickets for the event are on sale for $80 each until Nov. 20 and $85 after and include a no-host bar featuring Lake County wines, appetizers and a scrumptious dinner catered by Lake Event Design, all before the tree auction commences.
The Festival of Trees will showcase up to 25 brilliantly decorated Christmas trees donated by community members, organizations, and businesses.
The auction proceeds will benefit the special needs of Hospice/Palliative Care patients, as well as the Wings of Hope grief counseling program, which provides support to families with children who have lost loved ones.
Along with the tree auction, there will be a silent auction featuring beautiful holiday decor and other unique items.
For those who wish to participate, there are still a few openings available for tree donations to be included in the auction. Interested individuals are encouraged to contact Hospice Services to learn more.
In addition, community members are invited to view the spectacular trees in advance with characters from the beloved holiday classics, “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas” and “Frozen,” after the Kellyville Light Parade.
The Festival of Trees has been made possible through the generous sponsorship of Platinum sponsors, including Sutter Lakeside Hospital, Lake County Tribal Health Consortium, Adventist Health Clear Lake, Kelly Butcher, Michaels Insurance, Sophie’s Day Spa, and Kelseyville Lumber.
Jamie Sells with Sophie's Day Spa is thrilled to support this inspiring event, noting, “Come to a spectacular party while supporting an amazing organization. So much talent, delectable food, and generosity for an organization that gives so much will align for an evening of celebration. It can't get better than that!”
