A Toast to the Season

Celebrate the season at Morven’s signature holiday fundraising event, where history, community, and creativity come together for a memorable evening filled with warmth and cheer!

This year, we’re bringing back our beloved outdoor celebration! Break out your cozy winter coats, festive fedoras, and lawn-friendly footwear for a magical evening beneath the December night sky.

Sip seasonal drinks, savor delicious bites, and gather with friends around glowing firepits. Step inside to admire the beautifully decorated trees and mantels throughout the galleries, and enjoy a little holiday shopping in the museum shop with 10% off your purchases.

As the evening coincides with the first night of Hanukkah, we’ll also gather for a special menorah lighting to mark the occasion.

It’s a holiday experience uniquely Morven, and one we can’t wait to share with you!

Show your support. make an impact.

Businesses and individuals are invited to be part of Morven’s special Festival of Trees celebration and help make this beloved holiday tradition possible.

Sponsorship provides special recognition throughout the holiday season and gives Morven the resources to move forward with confidence, expanding access to public programming, piloting K–12 programs, supporting the creation of original exhibitions that celebrate New Jersey’s rich history and culture, and fostering an understanding of history and civic responsibility for generations to come.

Opportunities include recognition in our galleries and in our print and online programs.

This year’s Event Committee—Kathie and Robert Carr, Jennifer Eident-Finn, Peter Ham, Nick Lopez, Robert Minton, Ann and Austin Starkey, Nicole Tardio, and Carol Wojciechowicz—invite you to join us at this cherished holiday tradition.
