Christmas crafts, decorated trees and story time with Mrs. Claus are on the program when the Lake Stevens Community Food Bank welcomes families to its free Festival of Trees Community Day on Saturday, Nov. 21.
The all-ages event runs 10 a.m.–2 p.m. at The Mill, 1808 Main St., Lake Stevens. It offers a daytime holiday outing while raising support for the food bank’s work in the community.
What families can do
The food bank’s event announcement lists decorated Christmas trees and gingerbread houses to explore and vote on. Children can decorate a Christmas cookie and an ornament, enjoy hot cocoa, write a letter to Santa and listen to Mrs. Claus read a Christmas story.
Admission is free. Organizers also plan a Holiday Treat Shoppe with goodies available for donations, along with decorated mini trees and wreaths that visitors can receive for a donation.
A separate evening fundraiser
The festival also includes a Charity Jubilee for guests 21 and older. The organizer’s ticket portal lists $75 admission, including an appetizer buffet and two drink tickets, with standing room and limited seating.
Families planning the free Community Day should use the daytime hours above. Anyone considering the separately ticketed evening event should confirm its schedule on the booking page before making plans.
