Community invited to participate in Library’s 3rd annual Festival of Trees
The Lady Lake Library is inviting the community to participate in the third annual Festival of Trees, a heartwarming celebration that welcomes families, schools, non-profit organizations, and businesses to showcase their holiday spirit.
The Festival of Trees is an opportunity for participants to decorate their own Christmas trees, which will be prominently displayed at the Lady Lake Library from Nov. 17, 2025 – Jan. 3, 2026.
Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis and the deadline to submit is Nov. 12. Trees must be decorated on Nov. 14 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Patrons will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite tree throughout the season beginning on Nov. 24. Votes will be tallied with an award given for best design.
“This year is especially exciting as we celebrate the completion of our library renovation. What better way to showcase our beautiful new space than with the Festival of Trees?,” said Library Director Aly Herman. “Your festive display will be enjoyed by hundreds of local families throughout the season—and it’s a wonderful way to show off your creativity and community spirit. We hope you’ll join us again this year to make the Festival of Trees extra special!”
The cost to participate is $20 per entry, donated to Friends of the Lady Lake Library, and free for non-profits (501 c3s), municipal or government agencies and schools. There is a limit of one tree per organization, family or individual. Space is limited. For an application visit the library in person at 225 W. Guava St. or contact Library Assistant Kourtney Fehr at 352-753-2957 or Kourtney.fehr@mylakelibrary.org.
The Lady Lake Library strives to enrich lives, build community, foster success, provide entertainment and promote lifelong learning. To learn more, follow the library on Facebook at www.facebook.com/lakelakelibrary225.
