Festival of Trees

Celebrate the beauty and magic of the holiday season at Seneca’s Festival of Trees on Sunday, November 22, 2026, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm! This festive tradition brings the community together as beautifully decorated Christmas trees and wreaths, created by local individuals, businesses, and organizations, are displayed at locations throughout Seneca.

Visitors are invited to explore the displays, vote for their favorite trees, and place bids in the silent auction. It's a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the creativity of our community, get into the Christmas spirit, and support local organizations!

The Festival of Trees takes place in conjunction with Christmas at the Castle, happening the same day from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm at 601 Castle Street.

While you're in town, be sure to explore Seneca's downtown shops! Participating businesses will offer special shopping opportunities, and visitors can pick up a shopping punch card at Castle Hall for a chance to win an outdoor pizza oven, sponsored by SBS Insurance and Mitchell Appliance.
