KENNEDY KRIEGER INSTITUTE'S FESTIVAL OF TREES BRINGS THREE DAYS OF HOLIDAY FUN FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES FROM NOV. 29- DEC. 1

 The 35th Annual Holiday Event Sweeps the Fairgrounds’ Cow Palace in
a Tinsel-Tinted Whirlwind of Trees, Wreaths and Gingerbread Houses

The much-anticipated Festival of Trees returns to the Maryland State Fairgrounds during Thanksgiving weekend, Nov. 29- Dec. 1. This three-day holiday celebration benefits the patients, students and programs at Kennedy Krieger Institute and ushers in one of the most magical times of the year for families across the region.

Hundreds of designer-decorated trees, wreaths and gingerbread houses will be on sale and present throughout the Cow Palace, which will be converted into a dazzling winter wonderland for the weekend. The magic is back this year with holiday vendors, rides for kids, carnival games, face painting, craft making, food trucks, and all the trimmings for a fun-filled family weekend that benefits a great cause.
