Brookline’s 10th annual Festival of TreesDecember 3–6, 2026 · Pittsburgh, PA

Why we gather

More than
decorated trees.

Brookline’s Festival of Trees is a free Christmas gathering and outreach of Tree of Life Open Bible Church. It gives families and neighbors a chance to slow down together and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas—love. For ten years, people have shared their creativity and welcomed neighbors into a room full of light.

The festival’s spirit

Come as a neighbor. Leave with a story.

Tree designers, volunteers, supporters, and visitors make this celebration together. Each tree adds a different voice to the room.

01 / Welcome

Open the doors

Admission is free, and the festival welcomes neighbors of every age to enjoy the displays.

02 / Create

Share your imagination

Families, businesses, organizations, and individuals bring their own themes and stories to the trees.

03 / Connect

Celebrate together

Voting, music, shared traditions, and simple conversations turn a visit into a community memory.

From the first year forward

Christmas means a little bit more.

Kris’s founding motto comes from How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The organizers are developing an official mission statement, and this page will carry that statement once it is approved.
