Experience the Holiday Spirit at the 2025 Saratoga Festival of Trees
Dates: December 3-7, 2025
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas thanks to the annual Saratoga Festival of Trees! Mark your calendar for December 3-7, 2025, and enjoy this beloved local tradition at the Saratoga Springs City Center.
Walk Through a Wonderland of Beautifully Decorated Trees
The Saratoga Festival of Trees returns to the Saratoga Springs City Center for its 30th year, bringing five days of holiday magic, community tradition, and charitable support. Hosted by Catholic Charities of Saratoga, Warren and Washington Counties, the event transforms the venue into a winter forest of decorated trees, wreaths, centerpieces, and seasonal displays available for viewing or purchase.
Visitors can stroll through the displays, shop the Holiday Shop for gently used holiday items, and explore the raffle baskets, with winners announced Sunday at 2 p.m. The festival offers something for all ages with activities and festive touches throughout the week.
All proceeds from the Saratoga Festival of Trees help the Catholic Charities of Saratoga, Warren and Washington Counties to continue to serve our neighbors and friends in times of need.
