Festival of Trees in Tacoma

Description

Public Days are the whole family’s invitation for festive fun and decadent décor, featuring 25+ themed trees-turned-art, destined to light up the night during Tinsel on the Town and Gala. Both annual benefit events celebrate local pediatric health care and the community donors who make it possible. Over the years, Mary Bridge Children’s Festival of Trees has raised nearly $45 million for programs and services for patients and their families. In 2024, guests raised more than $2 million to support patients at Mary Bridge Children’s. 2025 marks the last year Festival funds will benefit the hospital's campus expansion, which opens early 2026.

During Public Days, families can:

• Marvel at a holiday forest canopy made of 25+ beautifully decorated trees, mini-trees and wreaths.
• Explore a holiday gift shop filled with curated treasures.
• Enjoy free kids’ activities (select activities do require a small fee) and free visits and photos with Santa Claus.
• Enjoy free admission, with the option to donate new teddy bears, Matchbox cars or Play-Doh; or learn about other ways to support Mary Bridge Children’s programs.

Tradition of giving: The Festival of Trees is organized by the Mary Bridge Children’s Foundation in partnership with the Mary Bridge Brigade. Since 1921, the Brigade has raised more than $50 million for programs and services at Mary Bridge Children’s, including $10+ million for the new hospital campus.
