December 6 - 27, 10am-4:30pm at Schenectady County Historical Society (closed 12/24 - 12/26) The Festival of Trees lights up Schenectady! Featuring 70+ artistically decorated fir trees, the Festival glows with the spirit of Christmas and the Solstice. Local artists, businesses, and non-profits have come together to turn the galleries of SCHS into a land of wintertide enchantment, and we warmly invite you to come stroll! When you stop in, be sure to vote for your top choices in 9 categories, including Cutest, Most Glamorous, and Most Creative trees! The Festival of Trees is a fundraiser for the Schenectady County Historical Society. Admission is $8 for adults 13+. You can purchase tickets here in advance or buy them at the front desk when you arrive.    

Join for an evening of seasonal cocktails and more at Schenectady Historical. Led by historian John Gearing, we’ll make and sample a variety of historic libations, made with holiday flare, amidst the glittering Festival of Trees. All ticket sales are final.
