Festival of Trees returns to Maryland State Fair

The East Coast’s largest holiday-themed festival will return to the Maryland State Fairgrounds with decorated trees, a gingerbread town, shopping, endless holiday activities and non-stop entertainment for children of all ages!

The Festival of Trees’ winter wonderland will feature more than 700 trees, wreaths and gingerbread houses decorated by local designers, corporations and schools. While wandering through the holiday spectacular, festivalgoers will enjoy live hourly entertainment and a visit to SantaLand, Santa’s ultimate theme park complete with “reindeer” pony rides, carousel rides, carnival games, train rides, a remote control car racetrack and more! And, with more than 100 gift boutiques and a silent auction, Festival of Trees is a one-stop-shop to mark off everything on your holiday gift list.

Proceeds from Festival of Trees, presented by BB&T, directly benefit Kennedy Krieger, appropriately marking the beginning of the holiday season by giving the gift of hope to the thousands of children treated at the Institute each year.
