While a lot of people believe that Thanksgiving weekend kicks off the holiday season, people in Northern Minnesota are well aware that holiday festivities begin well before that. That's because for the past 35 years, the annual Festival of Trees Arts, Crafts & Gifts Show in Duluth has provided an early festive celebration with over 170 unique vendors showcasing a variety of beautiful, fun, festive, educational, and flavorful items to get everyone in the holiday spirit. Also, the Festival of Trees is the Junior League Duluth’s largest non-profit fundraiser, and those in attendance are supporting an organization dedicated to advancing women's leadership and 'creating meaningful community impact through volunteerism, collaboration, and giving back.' 2025 Festival Of Trees Dates, Times, and Parking The 36th annual Festival of Trees Arts, Crafts & Gifts Show will take place at the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center (DECC) in Duluth on Saturday, November 15, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, and Sunday, November 16, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.
