The 2021 Festival of Trees is set for Saturday, Dec. 4 at the Hermiston Community Center.
The event goes from 2 to 7 p.m. and will have a different look this year. There will not be a dinner auction or Family Day. Instead, guests will be invited to stroll through and purchase items on sale. The community center will feature a stunning, festive Christmas display, with beautifully decorated large trees, small trees, holiday gift baskets, and Christmas stockings, and more.
Guests will also have a chance to win one of 100 special giveaway gifts during this Day of 100 Gifts.

Each festival item will be tagged with a “Buy it Now” price. Items can be purchased at the event or at the same time through an online auction that can be easily accessed and navigated with a phone or computer. Purchased items will be tagged as SOLD, so all guests will be able to enjoy the full display. Items will be available for pick up on Sunday, Dec. 5 at noon. The Kiwanis Giving Tree will also provide guests the opportunity to make cash donations to the Hermiston Second Grade Swim Program.
While there will be no Family Day, there will be a Family Hour from 2 to 3 p.m. Tickets are $25 per family.
General Admission is from 3 to 7 p.m. and tickets are $20 per person. There will also be wine tasting from 4-7 p.m., making it a 21-and-older event at that point. Tickets will allow for specific one-hour admittance in order to limit the number of people in the community center at one time, in an effort to follow current CDC guidelines. Auction bidding will begin at 2 p.m. and close at 7 p.m. Click here for bidding instructions.
Check the individual bid items on Text2Bid for details. The tickets are available at the Hermiston Chamber of Commerce.
The event is sponsored by Rogers Toyota of Hermiston and hosted by the Hermiston Kiwanis Club and the Good Shepherd Community Health Foundation.
