Hope and Peace Community Festival of Trees

A Celebration of Those We Love & Honor

The Helderberg Family and Community Organization (HFCO) is honored to bring the 7th Annual Hope and Peace Community Festival of Trees to the residents of the Hilltowns and surrounding communities each year. Individuals, families, businesses, groups, and organizations are invited to sponsor and decorate a tree for our community display.

The 2025 Festival of Trees will be displayed behind the Knox Fire Department from December 6, 2025, through January 10, 2026. Trees are available to decorate for a $60.00 donation. This donation covers the cost of a 7’ to 8.5’ premium tree, the stand, a signpost and related electrical needs such as lead cords and adapters. The participants provide lights and outdoor decorations. Please see our 2025 Flier and Order Form for all details.

Memorial Trees      We invite families to decorate a tree in memory of a loved one(s) who has (have) passed.
Honor Trees      We invite individuals, families, and groups to use this opportunity to raise awareness or honor the courage of others.  An example of an honor tree would be a red, white, and blue-themed tree to honor our military service men and women.
Celebration Trees      Celebration trees are trees that are decorated around a theme.  For example: “Celebrate Literacy” or “Celebrate Nature”.
