The 2021 Helping Hands Festival of Trees is a magical, festive event as the community comes together once again in the spirit of this wonderful holiday season for a common cause — the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate of our community.

The 12th Annual Festival of Trees Gala will be held on Saturday, November 13th from 6:30pm – 12:00am. This event includes a live auction, raffle, and more!

A unique feature of the weekend will be the donated decorative trees & wreaths! All trees and wreaths will be decorated by local Rockwall businesses and organizations. The one-of-a-kind trees and wreaths, combined with holiday entertainment will create an exciting weekend you won’t want to miss!
