WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — For the second year in a row, the Festival of Trees is canceled.
The Aspirus Foundation announced Tuesday that the event is being called off because of an “abundance of caution” due to rising COVID-19 cases.
“We know many families look forward to Festival of Trees as part of their cherished holiday traditions,” said Tara Draeger, Interim Executive Director of Aspirus Health Foundation. “We understand putting this year’s event on pause is disappointing, but we know it is the best decision to wait until we can celebrate our 25th year in person.”
The event traditionally features trees decorated by local businesses and residents that are put on display, then sold to the highest bidder. Money raised goes to Aspirus comfort care and hospice services.
Instead, there will be an online auction and supply drive. Bidding on those items runs through Sunday, November 28th at 9 AM.
