Experience the wonder of the holiday season at the 30th Annual Festival of Trees, a beloved Pinehurst holiday event that raises funds for Sandhills Children’s Center!

Each year, The Carolina Hotel becomes a festive holiday showcase filled with stunning Christmas trees, elegant wreaths, seasonal centerpieces, greenery, and creative holiday arrangements designed by local artists and generous community members.

Visitors can enjoy exploring the festive displays, shopping for unique gifts at the Festival of Trees Gift Shop, and bidding on a variety of items through the silent auction. Auction selections include beautifully decorated Christmas trees, seasonal decorations, memorable experiences, and one-of-a-kind treasures. Every purchase and bid helps benefit the children and families served by Sandhills Children’s Center.

Join the celebration November 18–21, 2026, at The Carolina Hotel in Pinehurst!

Whether you’re continuing a favorite holiday tradition or attending for the very first time, the Festival of Trees is a wonderful opportunity to soak up the Christmas spirit and give back to a meaningful cause in the local community.
