Friends of Caroline Hospice Announces 31st Annual Festival of Trees
The 31st Annual Festival of Trees to benefit Friends of Caroline Hospice is one of Beaufort’s most beloved holiday celebrations and the 2018 event continues a tradition that started more than thirty years ago.
The event kicks off with SNOW Day on Sunday, December 2 at Tabby Place in Downtown Beaufort. Tree viewing will be open to the public Tuesday, December 4 – Thursday, December 6th. More than 60 beautifully and whimsically decorated trees will be available for purchase. This year’s Gala will take place on Thursday, December 6th at Tabby Place amidst the trees with music, wine, beer and lots of food from ten of Beaufort’s best local restaurants. Santa will also be in attendance all week to have some fun and get some photos with attendees.
This year, we have a special Angel Tree that will be adorned with Angel ornaments in memory or honor of a loved one. Ornaments are only $25 and will be tagged with your special message during the event. The ornaments can be picked up from the Friends of Caroline Hospice office (1110 13th Street, Port Royal) after the event.
We will end this year’s event Saturday, December 8th in downtown Port Royal with the 2nd Annual Gingerbread 5K run. Run or walk through the beautiful Old Village and down to the Sands. Celebrate your accomplishment with s’mores. Sign up for the race at https://runsignup.com/Race/SC/
Here’s the schedule for this year’s event. You just don’t want to miss it.
