Festival of Trees: Stay Golden

This Festival of Trees sets up shop for the holidays at Auburn’s free and kid-friendly White River Valley Museum. Located inside Les Gove Park, the White River Valley Museum is known for its innovative and interactive exhibits. (Pro tip: Don’t miss this most excellent public art sculpture if you visit Les Gove.)

Details: This year’s theme is “Stay Golden,” and the trees will be on view through Dec. 30. Check Facebook for all the details. The museum is open Wednesday–Sunday, noon–4 p.m. (closed Nov. 18 and 23–24, and Dec. 24–25). Admission is free.
