ORLANDO, Fla. — The Festival of Trees puts some of the most elaborate Christmas trees you've ever seen on display, with a new theme and glamorous style to help kick off the holiday season every year. 

  1. Carmen Dick is a “seasoned” designer for the annual Festival of Trees, now in its 35th year. “This isn't my first rodeo,” she smiles, having done it for eight years now.
  2. The Festival features nearly 40 over-the-top themed trees from some of Central Florida's most talented creators. It's taking place at the Orlando Museum of Art.
  3. Carmen's tree is particularly special this year. She's honoring the health heroes at Orlando Health and says the tree will find its home at the hospital once the festival has ended.
  4. The Festival of Trees runs through this Sunday, Nov. 21. It's open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time, with a few special events peppered throughout the nine-day event.
  5. All proceeds benefit the Orlando Museum of Art.
