Tree & Wreath Designers
Thank you to everyone who came and supported our event in 2024! Stay tuned for more information on 2025!
The money raised during this annual fundraiser supports the Junior League of the Great Lakes Bay Region’s mission of promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community.
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 a 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!
