Festival of Trees

Festival of Trees 2021

Trees on display Friday, December 3 through December 31, 10am–4pm, throughout the Whaling Museum.

Closed Sundays and Christmas Day, December 25

The Festival of Trees is the NHA’s highly anticipated holiday tradition that transforms the Whaling Museum into a festive winter wonderland for the entire month of December! This event features community-crafted trees designed by local merchants, nonprofit organizations, artists, and children. The NHA is extremely grateful for the involvement and support of the many individuals and organizations that contribute to the success of the Festival of Trees. Your creativity and talent make it all possible.

FREE for NHA Members and Island Residents
