2008 Providence Festival of Trees

 

Providence Festival of Trees is Portland’s premier holiday event, where visitors stroll through a festive village decorated with more than 100 trees, wreaths and holiday vignettes created by local designers, businesses, and volunteers. Each year, attendees at the Gala Dinner and Auction, preceding the Festival, come together to support the programs and services of Providence Health & Services.

During your visit to the Festival, you can stop in at the Teddy Bear Hospital and Santa’s Workshop. You may also take part in many other Festival events and features to help start the holiday season. The Festival Main Stage features continuous live entertainment by community groups with performers of all ages. Save $1 off admission with this coupon (PDF, 121kb)

Proceeds from Providence Festival of Trees support critically needed health care for children and adults and leading-edge research at Providence Health & Services. Over the past 25 years, the Festival has raised more than $5.5 million. Please join us for the fun and help brighten the lives of some of our community’s most vulnerable people this holiday season.
