Festival of Trees
November 18, 2026–January 10, 2027
This beloved community event features inspired holiday trees and mantels throughout the museum galleries, creating a magical experience for the whole family.
A beloved holiday tradition, Morven Museum & Garden’s Festival of Trees will return in November 2026 for its 21st year, transforming the galleries into a winter wonderland. Each season, community partners—representing local non-profits, schools, garden clubs, and artists—submit creative and unique designs for holiday displays throughout the museum. The top entries are selected by Morven to be brought to life, and visitors can vote for their favorites among the beautifully decorated trees and mantels.

Festival of Trees is included with museum admission.
Morven’s gift shop transforms for Festival of Trees as well, and beginning November 18 will offer special holiday decor and essentials for home and garden, as well as thoughtful hostess gifts and one-of-a-kind presents. The gift shop is open during museum hours: Wednesday through Sunday, 10 am-4 pm.
