Winter and Holiday Events Return this Month

A full schedule of winter holiday events return this month to the historic Pearl S. Buck Estate.

Each year during the Annual Festival of Trees, the rooms of Pearl S. Buck’s iconic Bucks County stone farmhouse come alive with the glow of holiday decorations. The event showcases beautiful trees and vignettes designed by talented local artists, decorators, and community groups to convey the spirit of Pearl S. Buck’s legacy as an award-winning author, humanitarian, and activist.

Festival of Trees remains one of the most unique and historic holiday traditions in the region. Choose the historical and traditional Life & Legacy Tour featuring our holiday-themed décor, the Décor Tour, which is a tour of each decorated room with no historical interpretation, or our evening Candlelight Tour, offered on select dates only. Festival of Trees starts November 12 and runs through January 4, 2026. For tour times and prices, go to https://pearlsbuck.org/holiday-events/
