We invite you, your family and friends to make memories with our Boys Town's children and families. This year's Annual Christmas Tree Lighting and Festival will be one you won't want to miss!
Join Boys Town Central Florida and Ladies 327 Inc. for a new and improved 2026 Christmas Festival! This is an open community event filled with holiday joy, where neighbors and friends can gather to vote on their favorite decorations, take pictures with Santa & Mrs. Claus, play in the snowy Kids Zone, enjoy shopping from local vendors at the Christmas Market, eat your hearts out on tasty delights, and celebrate the season of giving to those who often go without.
Tickets are FREE, but guests are encouraged to RSVP in advance so Boys Town's team can prepare the residential foster homes and shelter for a wonderful night!
Gather your friends, family and coworkers and host a Making Memories gift or gift card drive, BTCF's wish lists are available to local churches, businesses, and community partners starting on 11/6/2026

Help our cause by contributing to our Giving Tree

The Giving Tree at Boys Town Central Florida's Annual Christmas Tree Lighting & Festival is a new tradition that invites guests to make a meaningful impact in the lives of Boys Town youth and families.
The Giving Tree board has giftbox tags representing specific needs and wishes directly from those we serve; the tree offers an opportunity to give the gift of hope this holiday season. Please choose one or many gift tags, fulfill a wish, and join us in spreading joy and kindness throughout our community.
Together, we can brighten the holidays for those who need it most!
