Merry-Time Festival of Trees

Create a new holiday tradition for your family and friends by visiting the Door County Maritime Museum during the Merry-Time Festival of Trees. Uniquely decorated trees and wreaths, adorned with beautiful ornaments and special surprises and donated by businesses and individuals in the community, can be found throughout the museum’s galleries. Best of all, every tree will go home with a lucky winner in our Merry-Time Festival of Trees raffle! The festival begins on November 10, includes several special events during the month-long extravaganza, and concludes with the “Jingle, Jingle, Mix and Mingle” gala on December 11. Enjoy a live auction, a themed gift basket silent auction, the tree raffle drawing and a score of heavy hors d'oeuvres at the event's final gala. Museum guests can begin bidding on silent auction items and purchasing raffle tickets on Saturday, November 10. All children accompanied by an adult receive free admission to the museum from November 23 through December 1.
