Visitor Center

When

Nov. 21, 2022 10:00 a.m. - Jan. 7, 2023 5:00 p.m.

Represent your business, club, or organization this year at Natural Bridge State Park's 7th annual Festival of Trees and help worthy causes.

During the Festival of Trees, local organizations are asked to decorate a holiday tree to represent themselves in the community. Participants will then vote for their favorite tree by placing this year's items under the tree of their choice. The tree with the most items by December 31 will be the winner.

This year's donations will be unexpired, non-perishable foods for the Glasgow Food Bank and pet supplies for the Furever Friends Pet Rescue of Buena Vista.

Any business or organization that would like to participate is encouraged to call the park's interpretation/education department at (540) 254-0795 or email kenneth.horowitz@dcr.virginia.gov.

All tree designs must abide by the rules participants will receive when they register. Trees may be placed beginning November 21, and must be off the property by the end of business hours on January 7. Feel free to contact us at (540) 254-0795 for any questions you may have.
