5th Annual North Fork Festival of Trees at Treiber Farms

The Center for Advocacy, Support & Transformation (CAST) is hosting its fifth Annual North Fork Festival of Trees on Nov. 23 and 24 at Treiber Farms. This family-friendly event is CAST’s largest annual fundraiser, providing vital funds for critical food relief and emergency assistance programs for local residents.

The Festival of Trees is renowned for its display of uniquely themed trees and wreaths decorated by local businesses, residents, and friends of CAST. Visitors can cast votes for the People’s Choice Awards and enjoy live music, refreshments, and a robust silent auction of special experiences and high-value items.

Additional attractions include:
– The Merry Marketplace: A shopping venue featuring holiday items, children’s toys, and local artisans’ and artists’ handmade works.
– The Cookie Cottage: A spot to purchase delicious locally sourced baked goods and hot beverages.
– Photo sessions with Santa: Available on both days from noon to 3 p.m.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for seniors and students (age 6-18), and free for children five and under. Auction bids, sponsorships, and tickets can be purchased in advance. CAST will also be accepting monetary donations and collecting new unwrapped toys for the annual CAST Holiday Toy Drive. This year’s Festival of Trees presenting sponsor is Kim’s Kindness, a fund created by Kim Pawlowski’s family to continue her legacy of spreading kindness and helping those in need.
