Parade of Trees: A Festive Celebration of Community and Creativity

The Parade of Trees has quickly become one of Art Reach’s most beloved holiday traditions, bringing a fresh and festive spirit to the season while supporting the arts in our region. This annual event features beautifully decorated Christmas trees, wreaths, and other holiday items, designed and donated by local businesses, individuals, and organizations.

At the heart of the Parade of Trees is a festive raffle, where guests have the chance to win these stunning creations and bring home a piece of holiday magic. In addition to the raffle, the event offers a variety of activities and experiences to delight attendees of all ages.

From family-friendly festivities like cookie decorating and craft stations to live music, themed drinks, and engaging auction items, the Parade of Trees is a joyful celebration that brings the community together. Guests can admire the dazzling decorations, enjoy delicious food, and participate in unique holiday traditions—all while supporting Art Reach of Mid Michigan’s mission to promote creativity and connection in our community.
