The countdown to the Greenwich Historical Society’s annual Festival of Tabletop Trees is underway as local organizations drop off their decorated trees for the sixth annual festival and auction that takes place December 4 through December 7.

“Each year the bar for creativity is raised as more organizations eagerly sign up to donate trees that reflect their unique style,” says Historical Society’s Museum Store Manager Barbara Johann. “Our lobby will become a veritable winter wonderland, filled with 34 hand-crafted trees, lovingly decorated by upscale retailers, non-profits, garden centers and designers for our silent auction to benefit Historical Society arts and education programs.”

Trees will be on display in the Historical Society lobby for previewing at an opening reception, Tuesday, December 3^rd, from 5:00 pm – 7:30 pm. Beginning Wednesday, December 4^th – Saturday, December 7^th, trees can be purchased or bid on through a silent auction. Prizes will be awarded in various categories by a panel of judges. Trees can be picked up at the end of the festival. For hours and more information, click here.
