7th Festival of Trees Under Way at Mercy Health

The 7th Annual Festival of Trees celebration has started, making it look a lot like Christmas at Mercy Health. 

The Festival of Trees is a decoration of Christmas trees by hospital departments to raise money for the Mercy Health Associates Christmas Giving program. The departments donate the decorations and the community is invited to buy a ticket to win their favorite tree. Tickets are $1 and can be purchased in the hospital gift shop.

The Festival of Trees features 20 trees, including Polar Express, Canine Christmas, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Farmhouse Christmas, plus many more whimsical trees. They will be on display until December 13th in the Marshall Nemer Medical Office Building Plaza. The winners will be announced December 14th.

Tickets can also be purchased at the Mercy Health-Lourdes Hospital Christmas Market on Saturday, November 17th from 9 am to 4 pm in the Marshall Nemer Medical Office Building Plaza. The event is free and features more than 40 vendors with jewelry, children’s clothing, handbags, scarves, and Christmas decor. 

The Christmas Market benefits the Mercy Health Associates Christmas Giving Program.
