WILMINGTON, MA — We’re One Wilmington’s (WOW) Festival of Trees returns for its 15th year at Villanova Hall (126 Middlesex Avenue) in Wilmington. Join us Friday, December 5, 2025, from 12–8 PM; Saturday, December 6, 2025, from 10 AM–8 PM; and Sunday, December 7, 2025, from 9 AM–12 PM.
Please note: Event hours have been adjusted slightly for 2025, so plan accordingly to make the most of your visit.
This free, family-friendly celebration features a raffle of beautifully decorated holiday trees, wreaths, and gift baskets—a perfect way to kick off the season and reconnect with friends and neighbors. Enjoy live holiday music, a scavenger hunt, and bake sale full of homemade goodies. Santa Claus will visit on Friday evening from 5–8 PM, so don’t forget your camera!
“Each year, the Festival of Trees brings our community together in such a special way,” said Becky McGrath, Festival Director. “The creativity, generosity, and spirit of Wilmington truly shine through in every donation and volunteer.”
Raffle winners will be drawn on Sunday, December 7, 2025, from 1pm to 3pm, and prizes must be picked up that evening.
Donations Needed!
Our stunning holiday displays are made possible through the generosity of our community. This year, we’re aiming for 100–115 donations to fill the hall. No donation is too small—consider contributing as a family, with friends, neighbors, or through your business or organization— many of our donors make it a holiday tradition! Donations are tax-deductible, and proceeds support WOW’s holiday gift program and other community initiatives.
Ribbons will be awarded in categories such as Best Use of Theme, Best Mini/Tabletop Tree, Best Wreath, Most Creative/Unique Tree, Best Alternative Tree, Fan Favorite, Best Wilmington Theme and Best in Show.
