Cashiers Festival of Trees is a two-day, family-friendly event during Thanksgiving weekend. We will feature decorated trees, tabletop trees, wreaths, and gift baskets, many paired with exciting experiences to bid on.
Enjoy entertainment throughout the two-day event, free crafts for children, a pop-up Build-A-Bear Workshop® made possible by Design South Builders, a Dolly Parton Imagination Library stage celebrating the world of books, expanded retail shopping, raffle prizes, and special time with Santa, Mrs. Claus, and your favorite Disney Princesses. New this year, we will showcase football games in the new Gameday Lounge and are excited to introduce Festival: After Dark–an enchanting nighttime party where we will enjoy jubilant lights, music, tapas, and libations.
