About the Program

Marshmallow the elf needs your help to decorate the Christmas tree for North Pole Lodge! (That’s where the elves celebrate Christmas.) Join Marshmallow on a scavenger hunt through Stifel Fine Arts Center to make ornaments, gather the elves, and finally, top the tree with a star. After the play, enjoy holiday treats and visit with Santa Claus.

$15 per person. (Free to children 3 and under) Program begins at 10am and lasts approximately 90 minutes.

When making your reservations, be sure to include all members of your party, including those children 3 and under attending free of charge.

Festival of Trees is sponsored by Belmont Savings Bank and Panhandle Cleaning & Restoration.
