An annual event that begins Thanksgiving weekend. The event opening day features a Christmas parade through downtown Davenport. The River Center hall is filled with Christmas trees and wreaths decorated by local businesses, groups and individuals who compete for prizes. The trees and wreaths are raffled off at the end of the show to those who purchase special raffle tickets.... More

The festival is nice, but its the same thing every year- trees. They charge admission if your child performs there - that is probably the main source of revenue.

I wanted to bring my mother to see it again this year. In the years past, she had been a regular contributor and was happy to see it again. Will be back. She (we) had a great time.

We go every year to see all of the decorations and there is a kids play area that is fantastic for the little ones! Santa is there every day for pictures as well.

The FOT is great family fun. The lights and decorations are fun for the kids to see. The train display is always a hit. The raffle tickets are well priced. Deifnitely a yearly family tradition at Thanksgiving time.

I have been to the festival of trees for the last two years now and have been greatly dissapointed. This year (2012) the trees did not even look Christmas like. The lines to see everything are terrible and not even worth standing in. The best part about the festival are the shows that the kids put on throughout the day.... More

It's been over fifteen years since I'd been to the Festival of Trees. I had the opportunity to take my family this year and it was beautiful. The variety of trees, decorated rooms, and doors was amazing. The artwork submitted by the local students was beautiful and we really enjoyed looking at all of them. The Festival of Trees was...

A must if you are in the Quad Cities for any time during the Holiday season. Bright lights, beauty and beautiful sights for the Holidays.

Its a great event and fund to kick off the holiday season. The trees are so unique with all the themes. It is worth seeing at least once. We've been back for a few years.

I thought this would be some hokey Xmas tree display (it's Iowa) but it was so cool. Took our daughters (8 and 10). Amazing Xmas trees we never expected so many cool ideas, vignettes the girls loved, little villages, fun activities, food... We budgeted a couple of hours on our trip- could have spent 6!
