27th Annual Festival of Wreaths

Now in its 27th year, the Festival of Wreaths at the Carroll Arts Center has traditionally been one of the most eagerly awaited holiday events in the county. While all the bidding is done online, the Arts Center still hosts a cheery display of all the entries for patrons to visit!

The festival exemplifies holiday generosity in many ways, through the valuable wreaths that are contributed, as well as the generous bids from the community. In the past, wreaths have been adorned with a wide range of items and decorations including semi-precious gems, $50 bills, sock monkeys, computer mice, thumb tacks, eyeglasses, duct tape, Legos®, flip flops, painted crab shells, used auto parts, origami, wine corks, autographed sports memorabilia, duct tape, toilet paper rolls, and more. Many also come with special items like gift cards, specialty food and beverages, and unique experiences!

In-person visitors can also vote for the Top 10 Audience Choice winners. Voting closes on Saturday, December 7 at 7pm. Kids can also get in on the fun with Festival of Wreaths Scavenger Hunt!
