MANISTIQUE — Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital in Manistique invites people to participate in the magic of the Festival of Trees.

This year, individuals can choose to enjoy the festival from the comfort of their own home or book a tour after hours to see the beautiful trees, wreaths and packages in person.

The festival officially kicked off on Nov. 22 and will continue until Sunday.

The Festival of Trees is a holiday-themed event with proceeds from the sale of raffle tickets and an online auction going toward the hospital’s new rehabilitation and aquatic therapy center.

Donations for the building expansion project help deliver close to home quality health care and specialty services to rural residents. The event’s focal point is the display and raffle of spectacular holiday trees, wreaths, gift cards, getaways, merchandise and more donated by businesses and community groups. Donations from across the Upper Peninsula will be featured in this year’s festival. The auction winners will be announced, and the raffle drawing will take place at 2 p.m. Sunday. The draws will be streamed live on the Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital Facebook page.

Due to COVID-19, the hospital will allow small groups of 20 to enter the atrium at a time. Individuals must book a tour appointment online.

This year, the festival will include live stream events, online entertainment, and an interactive website to view all the trees, wreaths and prizes from home. Visit www.scmh.org/community/festival-of-trees.
