Each year in November, New Castle County’s Festival of Trees offers visitors a wonderful festive event, raises significant funds for Delaware Hospice, and allows many dedicated volunteers throughout the state an enjoyable opportunity to apply their skills and expertise to a worthwhile cause.  The Festival of Trees showcases beautifully decorated trees and wreaths and holds several fun-filled activities for families.  Volunteer committees organize set-up, entertainment, decorations, tree and wreath sales, children’s activities, hospitality, publicity, auctions and raffles, and more.
