Local Businesses - join the Leominster Festival of Trees!

Sign up closes on Wednesday, November 13, 2024

November 2, 2024

On behalf of Leominster Community Development, Macaroni KID Leominster-Clinton would like to invite you to participate in the annual Festival of Trees. This is the 19th year the event is being held and it’s community members like you that keep it going year after year. This will be Macaroni KID Leominster-Clintons' 5th Year participating!

We hope you join us this year!




WHAT DO YOU DO? Get an artificial tree. Choose a theme - this can be based on your business, family traditions, a fun activity or holiday - get creative. (In the past, we have done a Baking theme, a pink flamingo theme, craft theme... and we've seen snowmen, USA, kids toys, books, Dr. Seuss, game night and more at the event!). Gather all your supplies - ornaments, garland, lights (or a pre-lit tree), hooks, etc. Bring all your supplies to City Hall during the week of set up. Spectators will bid on the trees from Monday November 18 - Thursday December 19. Your tree is part of helping to raise funds for the Mayor’s Fuel Assistance Program and City of Leominster events, such as the Winter Stroll.
