Decorated Christmas trees, a gingerbread-house contest and children’s activities will fill the Skagit Regional Health Foundation’s Family Festival Days in Mount Vernon over Thanksgiving weekend.
The 38th Festival of Trees welcomes families on Saturday, Nov. 28, from 10 a.m.–4 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 29, from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. Admission is $5 per person, with children ages 2 and younger admitted free.
What to expect
Visitors can explore the tree displays and gingerbread entries, join children’s activities and try a tree-ornament scavenger hunt. Designer wreaths, mini trees and raffle tickets will also be available to purchase.
The foundation says the festival supports its regional cancer-care fundraising campaign.
Plan your visit
Both family days take place at Saint Joseph Center, 215 N. 15th St., Mount Vernon.
Families who would like to enter a gingerbread creation have until Nov. 16 to register. The organizer’s contest page explains the entry rules and drop-off arrangements. Homemade houses and store-bought kits are welcome.
