The Festival of Trees, is an annual event that is held in doors at the Lodge in Brady's Run Park. Where, the Lodge, is magically transformed into a snow-laden, Winter Wonderland with it's 50 plus beautifully and uniquely decorated artificial trees and wreaths.  While basking in the warmth of the Festival stop to take time for an imaginary train ride on one of our Lionel or American Flyer Trains as they travel. You will become a kid again as it stirs memories of yesteryear.
