Presented by Goodwill Southwest Florida and the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center, the 20th Annual Festival of Trees returns December 3–6, 2026, bringing four days of holiday creativity, family fun, and community impact to downtown Fort Myers.
Held at the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center, the event has become a beloved Southwest Florida tradition, bringing together local businesses, volunteers, families, and neighbors for a celebration that gives back.
Trees, Raffles, & Holiday Fun
Guests can stroll through a spectacular display of professionally decorated seven- and nine-foot Christmas trees, each created and sponsored by local businesses and filled with décor, gifts, and surprises valued at $1,750 or more.
The signature tree raffle gives guests the chance to win one of the fully decorated trees, complete with its gifts and trimmings. Winners are drawn on the final day, and Two Men & a Truck helps deliver the trees directly to their new homes.
The celebration also includes a free outdoor concert, People’s Choice voting, and Santa’s Block Party featuring children’s activities, face painting, photos with Santa, and more. Guests can vote for their favorite trees through 3 p.m. on Sunday, December 6.
Celebrating for a Cause
Every ticket purchased and volunteer hour helps support meaningful work right here in Southwest Florida.
Proceeds support Goodwill Southwest Florida’s programs and services for people with disabilities and disadvantages working toward greater independence, as well as the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center’s mission of nurturing innovation and excellence in the visual and performing arts community.
