GIVEAWAY: Tickets to Ann's Place Festival of Trees, November 20-22

Mark your calendars for one of Greater Danbury's most beloved family events: Ann's Place 24th Annual Festival of Trees on Friday, November 20 through 22, 2026 at The Summit in Danbury (100 Reserve Road). I've been attending this event with my daughters (age 17 and 14) since they were just toddlers! It has always been a highlight of the season for us. We put on festive attire (the trees make a wonderful backdrop for holiday photos!), load up on raffle tickets to try to win some of our favorite trees, shop the boutique, enjoy baked goodies and take in the sounds of the holiday entertainment! And the best part is that the event helps to raise funds for Ann's Place -- an amazing local resource dedicated to help individuals and families in the community who are facing cancer. This is one event not to be missed!
