Join us for the Idaho State University Festival of Trees.

During the festival, the L.E. and Thelma E. Stephen's Performing Arts Center is transformed into a wonderland of beautifully decorated holiday trees and displays, with attractions and entertainment scheduled daily. These events include the Grand Holiday Gala (held the night before the Festival is open to the public), Children's Royal Tea Party, Breakfast with Santa, musical performances, and more.
