The Festival of Trees is back for its 17th year at the Bedford Area Welcome Center. Running through January 4, 2026, this holiday favorite brings together the community to enjoy dazzling trees, festive fun, and a spirit of giving.
This year’s theme, “Small Town Christmas,” features 40 beautifully decorated trees. Local businesses and organizations have once again gone all out with creative displays, and all are invited to come and cast votes for tree(s) for just $1.00 per vote. All proceeds from the event will benefit local charitable organizations, selected by the participating businesses.

We can’t wait to welcome the community to see the magic for themselves!”…
