Christmas trees from Festival of Trees

Festival of Trees

The Wartburg-Waverly Festival of Trees will brighten the halls of the Wartburg College Classroom Technology Center Nov. 29-Dec. 12.

The holiday display, open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, combines the efforts of the college and the community, with 30 Christmas trees decorated by academic departments, offices and student organizations at Wartburg, and community businesses and nonprofits. This year, the Waverly Public Library will bring the Tales Around Town storytelling group to the festival on Tuesday, Dec. 12, at 10 a.m., where they will read stories and lead songs and rhymes.

The festival attracts thousands of guests, including those visiting the community for events like Christmas with Wartburg, Waverly’s Christmas Greetings on Main, Wartburg’s December Commencement and the Wartburg Community Symphony holiday concert.
