Morven Museum & Garden’s Festival of Trees is a juried collection of trees and mantles decorated by area garden clubs and non-profit partners displayed in the museum’s galleries throughout the mansion-turned-museum.

The trees will be on display from Nov. 18 through Jan. 10, 2021. A Winter Wonderland outdoor fundraiser is planned for Dec. 3.

“Morven’s annual Festival of Trees has been a holiday highlight for years, and this year – a year like no other – we’re enhancing it by opening the decorated galleries of the museum a week earlier and running through Jan. 10 to give everyone extra time to see it without encouraging crowds. The event chairs embraced the creativity demanded by the coronavirus and added a Winter Wonderland twist to our annual fundraising party,” Executive Director Jill Barry said in a prepared statement.

During the Dec. 3 fundraising party, the museum will be open to enjoy the decorated trees and mantels at timed intervals; however, the party is based outdoors “in the fresh air under the stars, enjoying firelight, holiday treats, twinkle lights, music and a few surprises,” Barry said.

“We long to gather together, and on this evening we will be doing so while supporting Morven’s exhibitions and education programs. We hope many in our community, neighbors and friends will consider becoming early supporters of this wonderful fundraising event at whatever level they can.

“We’re inviting everyone to don their woollies and wellies, along with their mask, and join us on Dec. 3 in the transformed backyard of the museum from 5:30-8 p.m. by the fire pits for holiday cheer with safe social distancing,” she said.

Key sponsorship levels range from Shining Star at $15,000, which includes 12 holiday party tickets and 12 museum tickets; Angel at $10,000, including 10 holiday party tickets and 10 museum tickets; Herald at $5,000, including six holiday party tickets and six museum tickets; and Sentinel at $2,500, which includes four holiday party tickets plus four museum tickets.

Patron and Supporter tickets are available at $500 and $250 per person, respectively, and all these levels will be recognized on the invitation if committed by Oct. 5.

The basic party tickets are $175 per person.
