Celebrating courage, resilience, and community, Ann’s Place brings support and healing to families facing cancer, helping them find hope and joy every day. Taking place November 21-23, 2025, at The Summit in Danbury, the Festival of Trees will once again transform The Summit into a winter wonderland filled with elegantly decorated trees, festive raffles, holiday shopping, children’s crafts, and live entertainment for the whole family.

Visitors will enjoy live music and cultural performances, all while exploring unique holiday gifts and magical displays created by local businesses, schools, and community groups. Throughout the weekend, Ann’s Place will celebrate the many traditions that make our local community special, featuring dancers and musicians representing cultures from around the world. On Saturday and Sunday, the stage will come alive with performances by renowned local talent, including Swing Set and $2 Hat.

This year’s Festival of Trees offers holiday activities for all ages - from live entertainment and raffles, to shopping and children’s crafts.
