The link in Nocatee, in partnership with To the Moon Party Designs, is set to enchant families with its Festival of Trees 2024.
This magical evening, filled with festivities, promises to captivate attendees of all ages. From Dec. 13 to 17, the venue transforms into a winter wonderland, showcasing beautifully decorated trees styled by local St. Johns County organizations. These trees, each one unique, are available for bidding, allowing participants to support meaningful community causes while bringing home a touch of holiday magic.
To the Moon Party Designs, a bespoke balloon company known for providing custom designs for events and special occasions, adds an extra layer of enchantment to the event.
“I was thrilled when the link approached me to partner with them on hosting events,” said Jessica Chard, founder of To the Moon Party Designs. “For our first collaboration, I felt it was important to highlight the philanthropic nature of the link. They contribute so much to our community, and I’m not sure everyone realizes the extent of their impact. The Festival of Trees is the perfect way to showcase local businesses and organizations while simultaneously giving back to nonprofits. It also provides a special space for creating cherished holiday memories and traditions for the community as a whole … I’m so excited to be a part of it."
The launch event for the trees will take place 4-9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 13, and it is free for the community to attend. Visitors can look forward to photos with Santa from 5 to 8 p.m., family-friendly crafts, drinks and Christmas treats, making it a perfect holiday outing.
The event also features a Holiday Crafter Market, where local artisans and vendors present an array of unique, handmade treasures. This market is perfect for those seeking one-of-a-kind, last-minute gifts, whether for loved ones or as a personal holiday indulgence. Shoppers are sure to find something special among the handcrafted items and treats.
Enhancing the evening's charm, Ponte Vedra High School’s a capella group, “The Sharkapellas,” will perform holiday classics, 7-8 p.m. Their performances will create the perfect soundtrack for the holiday season.
Adding to the festive atmosphere, Lauren Klose, founder of Artistic Aire, has created stunning outdoor Holiday Murals on the windows of the link. These artistic displays are available for viewing until the end of the year, offering a visual treat that complements the holiday spirit.
All are invited to bring their holiday spirit, enjoy the artistry and soak up the music, making it a wonderful community celebration. This event is an ideal opportunity to come together, embrace the season of giving and create lasting memories with loved ones.
