Warther’s Christmas Tree Festival returns Nov. 15–23 in Dover

The 32nd annual Warther’s Christmas Tree Festival will usher in the holiday season at the Ernest Warther Museum in Dover from Nov. 15–23. The museum will be filled with more than 50 decorated trees, each with a unique theme, along with wreaths and home décor.

A beloved community tradition, the festival will feature nightly entertainment by local performers and groups. Festival hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, except Sunday, Nov. 23, when the festival will close at 5 p.m.

Admission is $5 per person for ages 12 and older; children under 12 are free. Proceeds benefit the Cleveland Clinic Union Hospital Auxiliary, which has pledged to raise $1 million toward the new Cancer and Radiation Center. To date, the Auxiliary has raised $500,000 toward that goal.

The festivities begin with a Preview Party the evening of Friday, Nov. 14, giving guests the first look at the trees and décor. The event serves as a major fundraiser for the Auxiliary and includes an auction of additional items. For Preview Party tickets, contact the Cleveland Clinic Union Hospital Auxiliary.

Two Children’s Tree Decorating Workshops will also be offered Sunday, Nov. 16, and Saturday, Nov. 22. Pre-registration is required. For details and registration, visit www.warthermuseum.com.
