Holiday Season Glows With The Festival Of Trees At Pearl Buck Estate

PERKASIE, PA — There is still time to view the Festival of Trees at Pearl S. Buck International.

Each year during the Annual Festival of Trees, the rooms of Pearl S. Buck’s iconic Bucks County stone farmhouse come alive with the glow of holiday decorations.

The event showcases beautiful trees and vignettes designed by Bucks County’s best artists, decorators, and local community groups to convey the spirit of Pearl S. Buck’s legacy as an author, humanitarian, and activist.

Festival of Trees remains one of the most unique and historic holiday traditions in the region.

This year Pearl S. Buck International is treating guests to a new exhibit displayed throughout the Pearl S. Buck House of original artwork by renowned artist Anna Marie Magagna, created to illustrate Pearl S. Buck’s children’s book, "Christmas Miniature."

The Festival continues through Sunday, January 8. There will be no tours on Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day. Reservations are required. For the most up-to-date information, visit https://pearlsbuck.org/holidayevents.

Pearl S. Buck International, a charitable organization located in upper Bucks County, carries on Pearl S. Buck’s legacy of bridging cultures and changing lives through humanitarian aid, intercultural education, and historical tours of the Pearl S. Buck House, a National Historic Landmark.

Pearl S. Buck was a writer, activist, and humanitarian. She was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Literature for her novel, "The Good Earth," and the Nobel Prize in Literature for her body of work. Buck used the spotlight on her to shine a light on the plight of marginalized people everywhere and to advocate for the civil rights movement in the U.S. She also founded Welcome House (the world’s first international biracial adoption agency) and established The Pearl S. Buck Foundation (now Pearl S. Buck International) to provide international humanitarian aid.

Buck’s groundbreaking words and work paved the way for greater international and intercultural understanding. They also provided life-changing aid for countless impoverished children.
