Kennedy Krieger Institute’s beloved Festival of Trees is celebrating its 35th anniversary, returning to the Maryland State Fairgrounds from November 29 to December 1. This milestone event 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, entertainment, craft making, 35th anniversary surprises, and all the trimmings for a fun-filled family weekend that benefits a great cause.
