Attend Triton's annual Deck the Mounds Holiday Festival of Trees

Donations will be accepted at the event to support Toys for Tots and the Triton College Meal Pantry.

Mark your calendars for Triton College’s annual Deck the Mounds Holiday Festival of Trees, Thursday, Dec. 5, from 4-6:30 p.m.

Deck the Mounds has become one the most anticipated events of the holiday season, as Triton’s campus sparkles with beautifully lit and decorated holiday trees adorning our outdoor mounds.

Hot chocolate and cookies, holiday movies, holiday photos and other festive activities have brought families from throughout the area back year after year.

The event is FREE to attend and we invite all members of our communities to make Deck the Mounds a holiday tradition.

During the event, we encourage (not require) attendees to donate a new, unwrapped gift to Toys for Tots – or make a monetary donation to support the Triton College Meal Pantry. Monetary donations can be made by cash or check. Donation checks should be made out to the Triton College Foundation (a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization).
