The annual Trees of Life Festival begins on November 18 and lasts until Christmas.

“Looking for the perfect pine, the best balsam, the most fabulous fir? You can find it – already beautifully decorated, to boot – at the 30th annual Trees of Life: A Festival of Trees, November 18 through Christmas, downtown at The Shops at Lexington Center. On November 18, attend the grand unveiling of this year’s trees at “Christmas Carnivale” at the Grand Reserve Event Center at 7:00 p.m. See this year’s selection of beautifully decorated trees and the participants in the new Wreath Contest. There will be games, prizes, entertainment by Out of the Box, and food by Bluegrass Catering and Bonefish Grill plus samplings from other area restaurants.”
