The Giving Trees Festival, Geneva

The holiday spirit thrives at The Giving Trees Festival, a celebration packed with pine, fur, and spruce wonders and Christmas cheer. Here's what to expect from this yuletide treat:

• The Trees: Stare in awe at a stunning selection of beautifully decorated trees crafted by local artists, businesses, and churches, most of which are available for purchase
• Other Attractions: A winter wonderland is filled with fun activities for the wee ones, along with live entertainment, hot dogs for purchase (and alcoholic beverages to warm up the grownups)
• The Good Cause: All proceeds benefit Project Mobility—the nonprofit of The Bike Rack in St. Charles—whose mission is to provide the freedom of mobility to children, adults and wounded soldiers with disabilities through adaptive cycling.​
