Festival of Trees, Tux and Trees, benefit for Goodwill, at the Sidney and Berne Davis Art Center in Fort Myers

In just three years, the Festival of Trees, a magical display of trees decked out in holiday finery, has become one of Southwest Florida's premier holiday events.

The week-long holiday celebration begins the day after Thanksgiving with a showcase of beautifully decorated holiday trees and lavish wreaths on display at the historic Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center in the Fort Myers River District. The free, family friendly showcase was visited by more than 4,000 people in 2009.
