Festival of Trees

5th Annual Festival of Trees

As part of the Christmas in Romney celebration, the 5th Annual Festival of Trees will once again transform the city into a winter wonderland! This beloved community tradition decorates the grounds of the West Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind, located at 301 East Main Street, Romney, WV, with beautifully adorned Christmas trees contributed and decorated by local businesses, schools, civic organizations, and individuals.

Each tree reflects the creativity and holiday spirit of its decorators, creating a breathtaking display for everyone to enjoy throughout the season. Visitors are invited to stroll through the grounds and take in the twinkling lights and festive décor as part of the larger Christmas in Romney celebration.
