Photos From 2021 Event!

We are inviting creative and generous individuals, clubs, organizations, condo, and homeowner’s associations here in Kings Point to help fill the North Clubhouse hallways with holiday cheer again this year. You will also be helping a deserving local cause – A Kids Place in Brandon – (https://akidsplacetb.org) is this year’s chosen charity recipient.

Your donation of a new or nearly new, themed, decorated, artificial tree (2’ to 6’) or wreath will be on display and available to Kings Point residents and guests to bid on from Nov. 27th – Dec. 11th. Bid sheets for each tree/wreath will be located on a table in the lobby of the North Clubhouse during this time.

Get your creativity and ‘wow factor’ engaged as you design and plan the theme for your tree or wreath donation! Hanukkah themed items are also welcome. The festival lends such a welcome display of holiday spirit each year and is a much anticipated event!

Festival Application Forms with details are available beginning October 5th at the front desk in the North and South Clubhouses and the 20/20 Center, and attached to this email.
