Step into a magical winter wonderland, brought to life by the generous contributions of time, talent, and materials from local businesses, artisans, florists, interior decorators, and community members of the Great Lakes Bay Region.

Since 1987, thousands have wandered through our holiday event, eager for the chance to win a beautifully crafted tree, wreath, or garland.  As a designer, your name will be proudly displayed on a placard next to your creation, offering a unique opportunity to showcase your talent and creativity, promote your business, and demonstrate your commitment to our communities.
