Join us for a magical holiday tradition!
The first annual Festival of Trees will be held from November 18 through December 8 at Casita & Garden located at Naranjo 321, Emiliano Zapata. We will be recognizing ALL the holidays within our community, so whether you celebrate Kwanzaa, Hannukah, Rohatsu/Bodhi Day, Solstice or Christmas, come on out and celebrate with your neighbors.
Prior to the event local businesses and individuals are invited to create and donate beautiful holiday decorations that symbolize their unique style and creativity. These items will include extravagant trees, stunning wreaths, and holiday ornaments. All items will be on display during the Festival of Trees for the community to admire, and there will be a Holiday Market that will feature hand-crafted cards and ornaments made by our students. All trees will be on display for you to vote on, and ultimately buy or bid for in a silent auction. All proceeds will directly benefit the Vallarta School for Girls, contributing to the educational resources and facilities for our girls.
