The Schenectady County Historical Society and the YWCA Northeastern NY invite all businesses, organizations, and families to sponsor a tree in the 2015 Festival of Trees! Over a thousand people came to last year’s Festival to enjoy the collection of decorated trees. This year businesses and organizations can also place an ad in our program to be see by every person who walks through the door.

Guidelines for trees:

  • All trees must be artificial
  • Trees can be tabletop or full-size
  • Themed decorations are encouraged
  • Trees must be set up between Nov. 17 and Nov. 24
  • All trees will be entered into our voting contests

Trees will be displayed at the SCHS Museum at 32 Washington Ave. and the YWCA headquarters at 44 Washington Ave. Tree pick-up is Dec. 15.

Details regarding program advertising can be found in our brochure and registration form.
