2026 marks the 32nd year of the Museum of East Texas' "Festival of Trees," a brightly colored forest lined with rows of trees covered in festive holiday decorations. Last year's display featured over 165 trees ranging in size from 4-feet to 12-feet tall!

 

The community comes together to put on the Festival of Trees as each tree decorated and displayed is sponsored by a business, family, group of friends, or individual. Trees are decorated by sponsors as well as volunteers.

 

Make a visit to the Museum of East Texas part of your holiday traditions! Bring the whole family and take in the splendor of our philanthropic forest. Photos are welcomed and proceeds go towards Art Camp Scholarships and general Museum operations. 

​

*The deadline to sponsor a tree is October 9, 2026.
