Christmas Tree Festival

The Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center’s Christmas Tree Festival is a seasonal highlight. This popular display showcases the imagination and creativity of Connecticut Catholic elementary schoolchildren. These students create handmade ornaments and trimmings in the theme of The Spirit of Christmas exhibition prior to traveling to the McGivney Center to decorate a school tree.

All 20 trees will be completed and on display to the public by December 6, 2025. After then, explore all the trees and be sure to vote for your favorite Christmas Tree in the People’s Choice Award!
