UPTON – Registration is now open for the 2026 Trees for Hope Festival, an annual holiday event featuring a display of uniquely decorated Christmas trees that will be raffled off to support DetecTogether and the Alzheimer’s Association.
Community members, businesses, organizations and families are invited to decorate a tree based on a personal story, in honor of a loved one, as a business display or around a festive theme. The decorated trees will become part of the holiday display at St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish, located at 151 Mendon Street in Upton.
The festival will take place on Saturday, December 5th from 9 AM to 4 PM and Sunday, December 6th from 9 AM to 1 PM. Following the event, the trees will be raffled, giving the winners an opportunity to take home a decorated Christmas tree and continue the tradition.
Those interested in donating a decorated tree can register online at the Trees for Hope registration form or complete a registration form and email it to [email protected].
