Taos Festival of Trees/Wreaths






Taos’ Annual Festival of Trees and Wreaths
Helps Those Who Help Others


The annual Festival of Trees and Wreaths in Taos wraps up community giving and support of local non-profits all in one festive, enchanting evening. The Festival of Trees and Wreaths in Taos – when area businesses decorate wreaths and trees in support of a favorite local nonprofit organization - is Friday, Dec. 3 from 6-9 p.m., at El Monte Sagrado Resort and Spa on E. Kit Carson Road.


The event – now in its 10th year – has raised more than $200,000 to benefit local non-profits. This year's goal is $30,000.

Decorated trees and wreaths are up for bid through Friday, closing during the night of the festival at 8 p.m. Winning bidders can either keep the tree or wreath or donate it to Community Against Violence, which will see that it goes to a needy family in the Taos area.


The party features hors d'oeuvres, beer and wine, and entertainment by Jimmy Stadler. Admission is $20 per adult; children are free. All admission proceeds go to the Museum Association of Taos, which uses the money for its educational programs.
