Fort Wayne has its annual Festival of Trees at the Embassy Theatre, but you don’t have to travel out of town or spend any money to experience the beauty and magic of the holiday season! Huntington County has a festive Christmas tradition of its own, and we invite you to be part of it!

Join the Huntington County Chamber of Commerce, Huntington University Women’s Volleyball, Huntington University and Sodexo for the annual Forester Festival of Trees and Holiday After Hours at Huntington University!

The Forester Festival of Trees will be held on Thursday, December 3 from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Merillat Centre for the Arts on the campus of Huntington University.

Come experience the beauty of beautifully decorated Christmas trees, each uniquely decorated and sponsored by members of our local business community. These beautiful trees showcase the creativity, generosity and holiday spirit of the businesses that make Huntington County such a wonderful place to call home.

Make the most of your visit! Be sure to stop by the Welcome Center, explore the beautiful Zurcher Auditorium, and take a stroll through the spectacular Festival of Trees. Enjoy delicious refreshments, catch up with old friends, make new connections, and get into the holiday spirit! Be sure to enter for your chance to win one of the Chamber’s exciting giveaways!

And the fun doesn’t stop there! We’ll have special entertainment to add to the festivities, plus a very special guest – Santa Claus! Bring the youngsters along so they can share their Christmas wishes, tell Santa what’s on their list, and capture a little holiday magic. There’s something for everyone, so come celebrate, connect and make some wonderful holiday memories with us!

Whether you’re looking for a fun early evening out before dinner, a chance to catch up with friends, or simply an opportunity to soak in the sights and sounds of the season, this is the perfect way to celebrate Christmas right here in our own community.

Mark your calendar and make plans to join us on Thursday, December 3.

Best of all, you do not have to be a Chamber member to attend. Everyone is welcome! Bring your family, invite your friends and come enjoy a little holiday magic with us.

Let’s celebrate the season, support our local businesses, and make this a wonderful community tradition all while supporting the girls of the Huntington University Volleyball team.
