Festival of Trees
San Joaquin County Historical Museum's Annual Celebration
It’s an annual celebration of light during the darkest time of the year – the San Joaquin County Historical Museum’s Festival of Trees. The event at Micke Grove Park, now in its 31st year, showcases sixty-six trees, each unique. The trees range from the 900 hand-made cranes on the Japanese American Citizens League tree to Victorian and even chicken trees. This festival brings the community together and is a fundraiser for the museum with handicrafts and even tree gnomes for sale.
The exhibit runs from today through December 17 at which point the museum closes for the year/reopening for the New Year.

Cyndy Green has been intrigued by news since she got a toy printing press as a six year old. She switched to visual story telling at the age of 12 with her first still camera and moved to broadcasting after an internship in 1974. After 28 years in broadcast news and another 8 teaching broadcasting, she still can’t live without a camera in hand and an editing computer nearby, so in retirement she continues creating visual stories.
