WATERTOWN, New York (WWNY) - A north country tradition is returning to its longtime home.

This year’s festival will move back from Salmon Run Mall to the Dulles State office building on Washington Street.

The festival is the joint work of the Samaritan Medical Center Foundation and the Watertown Family YMCA.

This year, the festival will run from November 28 to December 7, with the festival gala on Friday, December 5.

If you have never been to the Festival of Trees, it’s what the name suggests - lots of decorated Christmas trees. The trees often have a theme, and they range anywhere from the silly to the beautiful.

“It’s so much fun,” says Kristan Donoghue, Community Relations Manager for Samaritan. Kristan joined 7 News This Morning Wednesday with details of the festival.
