Festival of Trees 2024

The 18th annual Festival of Trees is the celebration of the season! During the festival, we welcome 3,000+ visitors to our historic house to enjoy decorated displays of shimmering fir trees.

The Festival of Trees runs from December 7 – December 23. All proceeds of the festival benefit the numerous programs and services provided by the SCHS.

Join us for the 2024 holiday season in strengthening our community, and providing a space for cheer and goodwill. By sponsoring a tree, you are bringing brightness to visitors, helping our non-profit to fulfill its mission, while also making your mark in front of thousands of people from throughout the Capital Region.
