Twenty-five uniquely-themed trees will be on display through January 7, 2014 as the main gallery of the Bucks County Visitor Center is transformed into a wintry wonderland. Each tree is decorated by a local business or organization. Sundays with Santa, musical talent and a special day dedicated to pet photos with Santa are a few of the highlights in the packed schedule of events, which can be viewed at VisitBucksCounty.com/TreeFest.
TreeFest kicks-off on Tuesday, November 26 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Families are invited to attend and cheer on Santa as he arrives on a fire truck with Mrs. Claus at 6 p.m. to magically turn on the holiday lights! There will also be light refreshments, photos with Santa and a special appearance by the Chik-fil-A Santa Cow to entertain the children.
Be sure to bring your own camera! On Sundays, December 1, 8 and 15, Santa will take photos with children from 1-3 p.m. On December 15, Santa will stay until 4 p.m. to take pictures with pets.

The Bucks County Visitor Center is also a drop-off location for Toys for Tots. Visitors are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to the Visitor Center through December 9 to help our local community in need. The tourism officeโs headquarters will also host a drop box for the Holiday Mail for Heroes program. The public is invited to bring unsealed holiday cards containing messages of cheer and appreciation to our troops through December 6. These letters will be sent overseas to soldiers in need of holiday spirit. No postage necessary.
Get social! Visitors are encouraged to share their favorite tree photos and comments on Twitter and Instagram using #BucksTreeFest.
