Illinois State Fairgrounds, ORR Building

The Springfield Ballet Company will be performing excerpts from its upcoming 35th annual production of The Nutcracker at Memorial's Festival of Trees.

Memorial's Festival of Trees started in 1989 as an event to benefit the healthcare programs offered by Memorial Medical Center. Since then, the Festival has raised more than $2.2 million dollars for healthcare and has become the single largest family-oriented holiday tradition in central Illinois.

Each year, hundreds of talented local designers and volunteers transform the Orr Building at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield into a winter wonderland of exquisitely decorated showcases, trees, centerpieces and wreaths.

This holiday extravaganza is open daily during the week of Thanksgiving. With annual attendance of approximately 30,000, the Festival offers a fun-filled kaleidoscope of holiday sights, sounds and scents you won't forget.
