Palm Beach’s Festival of Holiday Trees
Customarily travelers to Florida expect beaches and palm trees, but at this time of year, it’s evergreen trees that are special. For two weeks in December, visitors to Palm Beach can admire the Festival of Trees in the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens across the street from the Inland Waterway. This year is the tenth anniversary of the show which draws visitors from around the state to savor the piney fragrance and admire almost 30 trees elaborately decorated to usher in a tropical holiday season.
