NOVEMBER HOLIDAY EVENT RETURNS TO IN-PERSON EVENT
PHestivaL of Trees to Raise Funds for Local Animal Shelters and Rescues
Oaks, PA (November 4, 2021)– Eight Philly animal rescues are joining together for this exciting three-day “PHestivaL”, to get into the holiday spirit and raise funds for local animal shelters. The second annual PHestivaL of Trees, presented by ACME Markets, is a holiday-themed family experience featuring uniquely decorated holiday trees and gingerbread houses, live entertainment, craft vendors, rescue pets and of course Santa & Mrs. Claus. The event will be held at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA with opportunities to get tickets for “Breakfast with Santa” and check out the PHestivaL of Trees Pub, featuring an Adults Only Night on Friday, November 12th from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Last year, 200 trees were decorated and sold to generate $24,000 to support local animal rescues. Each of the six rescues ended up receiving $4,000. Although last year’s event sold out, it was drive-thru style due to the pandemic; however, this year will be an in-person experience, and over 10,000 attendees are expected. The trees will be decorated by individuals, businesses, and organizations with the goal to raise more funds for the animal rescue partners through increased attendance and engagement. There is something for adults and children alike, including live adoptable pets from the local shelters and rescues.
The eight animal rescues joining together this year include Hart 2 Heart, Morris Animal Refuge, Brandywine Valley SPCA, Finding Shelter Animal Rescue, Senior Dog: Haven and Hospice, Lucky You!, GSP Rescue Pennsylvania, and Animal House Project.
The 2021 PHestivaL of Trees will be open on November 12th, 13th & 14th at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA. More details can be found at http://PHestivaLofTrees.com or follow us on social media at:
