The holiday event — with more than 100 decorated trees and wreaths displayed across Watauga, Ashe and Avery counties — raises money to support area children through the Western Youth Network (WYN). The beautifully designed trees and wreaths, many loaded with area gift certificates, art, goods and services, are sold to the public on an online auction which opens at noon on Wednesday, November 19 and concludes at 8pm on Thursday, December 4.

All proceeds benefit our community through supporting local youth and WYN’s important initiative.
Funds raised at this year’s Festival of Trees will support and help expand these out-of-school-time programs across Watauga, Ashe and Alleghany counties.
The presenting sponsor for this year’s festival is Appalachian Evergreens, a local family-owned Christmas tree and greens company, founded by Charles Cole Wilcox in 1933.
