What started six years ago as a small "Christmas at the Farm", Festival of Trees at the Historical Society's 1688 Peter Rice Homestead with 17 Trees has evolved into one of the premier Holiday events in the Metro West & Central Mass area! From 17 to 40 trees in the second year, to 60 trees in the third, and the introduction of animated figures from Edaville RR to 70 trees and wreaths. Our attendance has continually grown with over 4,000 persons attending from 75 different communities and 5 states!Now entering our seventh year, we have expanded and bringing the Festival to a higher level, by producing it for the third year in a row at the 47,500 sq. ft. Royal Plaza Trade Center in Marlborough and expect to have 4,000-5,000 people attending.
