Festival of Trees
celebrates season
with creative display
Renziehausen Park twinkled with holiday cheer December 5
through 9 during the 34th annual Festival of Trees. This year’s
event boasted more than 90 trees at the Main Pavilion and
McKeesport Regional History and Heritage Center. It also included
sleigh-hay rides, food sales by McKeesport Area culinary students,
a bake sale by the Semper Fidelis Club of McKeesport, and holiday
décor sale by the Garden Club of McKeesport.
Mayor Michael Cherepko said the Festival of Trees is always
a great way to spread holiday cheer while being active in the
McKeesport community.
“The Festival of Trees is a beautiful event,” Cherepko said. “Not
only does it bring McKeesporters together in celebration of
the holiday spirit, but it allows each of our local organizations,
student clubs, churches, and other participating groups to share
their mission and creativity with
our community.”
Event chair Cheryl Cotter said
the Festival of Trees tradition
brings “all of McKeesport
together to celebrate the great
parts of our community.”
