ABOUT FESTIVAL OF TREES









 
 More than a premier holiday event, Festival of Trees is the
 annual fundraiser for Quad City Arts, a local not-for-profit
 arts agency. More than 3,500 volunteers,  over 650
 designers, nearly 3,500 CenterStage entertainers, and over
 150 Sponsors help to make Festival of  Trees possible.
 Festival of Trees has a 2.5 million dollar economic impact
 on our community. Over 100,000 people experience
 Festival annually, making it one of the largest attractions in
 the Quad Cities. This fundraiser makes it possible for Quad
 City Arts to provide quality arts programming year round for
 residents of six counties in Eastern Iowa and Western IL.
