Festival of Trees
November 19, 2025–January 11, 2026
Morven’s signature holiday tradition returns for its 20th season. This beloved community event features inspired holiday trees and mantels throughout the museum galleries, creating a magical experience for the whole family. This milestone year not only celebrates the festival’s rich legacy—it also launches Morven’s role in commemorating America’s 250th anniversary in 2026.
