The Historic Embassy Theatre

A goodwill community event. A fundraiser for the Embassy Theatre and Indiana Hotel.

The Festival of Trees at the historic Embassy Theatre and Indiana Hotel is a highly anticipated tradition during the holiday season. For eight days in November, the lobbies of the Embassy Theatre and Indiana Hotel are transformed into a beautifully decorated wonderland of Christmas trees. Founded in 1984, the Festival of Trees is a fundraising and community goodwill event that supports ongoing operational and restoration efforts for the Embassy Theatre Foundation, Inc.

Thanks to all the sponsors, decorators, patrons and dance groups for making the 2011 Embassy Festival of Trees a great success!
