24th Annual Festival of Trees
Friday, November 17, 2023
The Lake Area Technical College Festival of Trees is an annual fundraiser designed to “Build a Better Lake Area Technical College” through scholarships, program enhancements and campus improvements. Last year, the Foundation awarded nearly 400 scholarships totaling over $450,000. All proceeds from this event are designated for student scholarships, program enhancements and campus improvements.

Since 2000, the Foundation has hosted the event on the Friday before Thanksgiving. The Festival is a gala event and includes a Silent and Live auction. Individuals, businesses and corporations donate beautifully decorated Christmas trees, wreaths, holiday ensembles or very unique items to the auction. There are generally 35 live auction items and 55 silent auction items. Each unique gift donated to the event provides fun and excitement for our guests, and makes this event a crowd favorite each year!
