Welcome to the Festival of Trees and Wreaths!

Auction opens December 3rd at noon!

WARNING: Due to flashing lights on some trees, this video may potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised.

We are celebrating our 18th Annual Festival of Trees in Durango at the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad from December 3rd-5th and our 2nd Annual Festival of Wreaths in Cortez in downtown businesses from November 22nd-December 5th.

All of the fabulous creations from both communities will be here on this site for viewing and auction starting December 3rd. As we get closer to the event, we'll also be adding more information about how to participate; videos with clients, staff, and sponsor stories; and tours of the trees and wreaths. Register for the event and check back as we build toward kick-off!

Your participation and support will help Community Connections continue to create opportunities for children and adults with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities to lead healthy and fulfilling lives in our communities of Southwest Colorado.
