Riverside County Regional Medical Center Foundation's Festival of Trees has become a special holiday tradition. Now in its 17th successful year the Festival of Trees has grown to be a five day event scheduled over the week of Thanksgiving and attracts over 20,000 people, with its numbers growing every year. Each year hundred of volunteers beautifully decorate the Riverside Convention Center into "Riverside County's premiere holiday extravaganza". The Festival of Trees features over 50 elaborately decorated trees, each with its own unique theme.
The Festival of Trees is the only major fundraiser for Riverside County Regional Medical Center that benefits Pediatric units at the hospital. Each year proceeds are used to purchase desperately needed and often life saving equipment for the children's units including the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the Child Abuse and Neglect Unit, and the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
I know love to go every year it's a great time to kick off the holiday season. The kids love all the booths especially the kid's craft center and adults love looking at the gorgeous trees. Sometimes I get a great theme idea for my family tree. If you are interested in attending the Festival of the Trees please contact the RGH Foundation (951) 358-7950.
