Southwest Florida's Favorite Holiday Celebration
Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida is excited to present our 13th Annual Festival of Trees, an annual fundraiser that has become a holiday tradition in Southwest Florida for thousands of families.
Over the last 13 years, this event has raised just over $1 million to help support Goodwill programs and services for people with disabilities and disadvantages. Our programs include education and jobs skills training for under skilled and displaced individuals, a transitional education program for people with developmental disabilities, certification programs in auto mechanics, culinary, and digital computer training, housing for low income seniors and people with physical disabilities, and a six week MicroEnterprise course for aspiring small business owners. Visit: www.goodwillswfl.org
Throughout the event, the Festival of Trees is open to the public to view and buy raffle tickets for their favorite tree or trees. On the last day of the event, we pick one winning ticket from each tree raffle box. The trees are then carefully wrapped up with all their gifts and goodies and delivered to the winner’s home.
Held annually at the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center (2301 First Street) in the historic Fort Myers River District, our festival has something for everyone.
Festival admission is only $2.00 for visitors age 12-up.

Nearly every tree at this year's Festival of Trees is available in our 20198 Tree Raffle! Festival visitors will have an opportunity to win one (or more) of our trees-- and all of their beautiful decorations and gifts, too!
