Designer Call for Downtown Rochester's Festival of Trees

ROCHESTER, MI — It's not Halloween yet, let alone autumn, but plans are already under way for the 3rd Annual Downtown Rochester Festival of Trees, to be held in downtown Rochester Nov. 18-20.

The holiday event is unlike any other, featuring trees, wreaths, stockings, tablescapes and other holiday decorations designed and donated by the Metro Detroit community.

Festival of Trees organizers are reaching out to businesses, organizations, individuals and families to donate their time and talents to this year’s event. Many designers have already committed to this year’s event selecting creative themes that include Dr. Seuss, Christmas Around the World, The Gems of Rochester and even The Big, Bright Light Show.

The Festival of Trees Designers Packet can be downloaded here. The deadline to participate is Friday, Sept. 30.

The Downtown Rochester Festival of Trees will kickoff at the Rochester Community House on Friday, Nov. 18, with the Cocktail Preview, and will be open to the public Nov. 19-20. All proceeds benefit The Big, Bright Light Show.
