Each year, Southwest Virginia Museum transforms into a dazzling display of holiday cheer during Festival of Trees. Celebrating its 30th year, this event is an opportunity to celebrate the community and history that make Southwest Virginia special.

In Southwest Virginia, you'll find three holiday events within an hour's drive of each other: Festival of Trees, Christmas Lighting of the Tunnel and Karlan Christmas: Parade of Trees.

Whether you want to see colorful lights on a bridge or a tunnel, from the comfort of your car or in a cozy museum, we have spectacular events for you to enjoy holiday lights and decor at Virginia State Parks.

Festivals, pumpkin painting, tree decorating, birdwatching, stargazing, water adventures and many more activities are available at Virginia State Parks this fall. Get some new ideas on how to make the most of your park visit.
