Founded in 1984, the Festival of Trees supports ongoing operational and restoration efforts for the Embassy Theatre Foundation. The Festival is the organization’s largest annual fundraising event.

The annual traditions at the festival continue in 2022. Lobbies of the Embassy Theatre and Indiana Hotel will transform into a wonderland of decorated trees at various sizes, shapes and a broad array of themes. Admission includes visits with Santa (various dates and time) and festive entertainment on stage including the Grande Page pipe organ as well as youth choir and dance performances. Attendees are encouraged to register to win various goodies as well as vote for their favorite trees! Also noteworthy are the animated holiday windows along the building on Harrison Street.

Breakfast with Santa:

Breakfast with Santa is a popular featured event and will take place Friday and Saturday of this year’s festival. This annual event includes a private tour of the Festival of Trees FIRST at 8:30 a.m. and then Breakfast with Santa programming to begin around 9 a.m. Mad Anthony will provide a scrumptious breakfast buffet. The whole family will enjoy an engaging performance of Frozen Jr. from the Fort Wayne Youtheatre. Plus, a fun emcee will make this an experience to remember for all in attendance. Seating is very limited. This sells out every year!

Breakfast with Santa is sponsored by Steel Dynamics.

Thank you to our partners Dynamic Sound Entertainment and Alomar Entertainment.
