Altrusa Festival of Trees

Altrusa, in partnership with The Oshkosh Library, is bringing back a community favorite in a new location - with a sprinkle of cheer! Please join us in celebration at the beautifully decorated Dome of the library located in downtown Oshkosh. There will be special events and entertainment throughout the run.

This is a fundraiser for Altrusa Club of Oshkosh. A nonprofit local service organization with the only purpose of doing good by either donations or volunteering. All net proceeds will be used to do great things in our community! If you would love to do great things with us, consider joining Altrusa!

 

 

Altrusa Club of Oshkosh is excited to announce its Festival of Trees collaboration

with WestPointe Bank, Caramel Crisp, and the Oshkosh Pubic Library from

Saturday, November 14th to Sunday, January 3rd, during library hours unless

advertised otherwise. There is no fee for admission, but donations will be gladly

accepted.

 

The beautiful area under the historic dome will showcase gorgeous trees, wreaths,

and vignettes decorated by local businesses, non-profits, individuals, and groups.

 

There will be a silent auction to win one of the several trees or wreaths

that you can take home on or after December 6th.

 

Decorations will be extended to the outdoors. The south stairs and door of the

library guarded by lions Sawyer and Harris, will be open during library hours. Across the street at the William Waters Plaza, it will also be decorated for the holiday season.

 

The William Waters Wonderland Walk is done whenever you want. You visit

downtown stores to receive stickers to decorate a tree on a special card to make

you eligible to win a prize.

 

For history lovers of William Waters' architecture, there will be a map to guide you

on a scenic tour to visit many of the downtown area buildings designed by William

Waters.

 

At different times during the event, there will be a craft fair; bake sale; Altrusa’s famous pecan sale; Gingerbread House competition; gift wrapping; Cookie Crawl; Wine Walk; International Winter Celebration presentations, and much more.

 

Santa will visit. The kids will have an opportunity to decorate Christmas Cookies and other activities

 

Entertainment throughout the event will include Madrigals from area schools, Little

Encore Bell Choir and other musical groups.

 

Specific information regarding times, activities, and more will be announced on

Facebook.

 

Proceeds benefit Oshkosh area nonprofits and programs such as literacy, Coats for

Kids, The Teachers Closet, Dolly Parton Library, COTS, Oshkosh Area Community

Pantry, and more.
