Tannenbaum Forest: 

Imagine stepping into a grand old barn that’s been filled — wall to wall — with live Christmas trees (80+), each one unique, each one decorated with care by someone in the community. You hear the soft hum of holiday music or chatter, see the lights glint on ornaments, maybe glimpse a giant 17 foot German pyramid slowly rotating, smell evergreen in the air, feel a slight chill that reminds you it’s genuinely winter. You’re among family, friends, visitors — all enjoying a shared local tradition. It’s nostalgic, cheerful, and genuine.

Don’t forget to dress warmly, as the Festhalle Barn is not heated! 

Free-will donation. Proceeds will benefit the Stead Family Children’s Hospital and local non-profits. 

Check out the website for the full schedule of Forest hours, scheduled Santa visits, and live music on the Festhalle stage.
