Every year the Berkshire Museum has its famous exhibit, the Festival of Trees; which showcases Christmas trees decorated in certain themes and all sorts of different decorations.

This years “Myths and Magic” theme will allow participants to create trees with the use of wizards, fairy tale characters, dragons, unicorns and much more.

“Imagine an excursion into Alice’s Wonderland of fantasy and fun or a “Disneyesque” land in which fairies and elves both help and hinder their human friends and foes. Travel to “Middle Earth” and embark upon an epic quest of danger and intrigue. Explore the classical traditions of Greek and Roman mythology, the legends of Norse Gods and Goddesses and the rich history of Native American lore. All of these might feed your imagination and inspire a holiday tree design that reveals the mysterious worlds of myth and magic.”

If you are in the area visiting or vacationing for the holidays you should stop by the museum to see all the unique trees, or if you would even like to participate you can by doing the following: Sponsor a tree to benefit or promote your local businesses, purchase an advertisement, create at tree, attend the opening night or see the trees from November 16^th through January 2^nd.

Over 18,000 visitors attend the festival of trees so it is a great event for Berkshire County!
