The event will take place beginning at 5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7, at Sophie’s Day Spa, 3855 Main St., Kelseyville.
The Festival of Trees will showcase up to 23 brilliantly designed Christmas trees donated by community members, organizations and businesses.
One of those trees will be in memory of Brad Onorato, a longtime district representative and deputy chief of staff for Congressman Mike Thompson who died in September.
Onorato was dedicated to meeting the needs of the Lake County community and advocated on its behalf for more than 30 years.
The Brad Onorato memorial tree will be showcased and rather than being auctioned off like the other trees, it will be delivered to Congressman Mike Thompson's office for his staff to enjoy.
Event attendees and others will be asked to make a donation in memory of Onorato. Those who would like to make a memorial donation can do so online at this link.
Community members are invited to view the trees for this year’s event from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, in conjunction with the annual Kelseyville Christmas in the Country and Light Parade.
Tickets for the event are on sale now. Individual tickets will be sold for $85 each. Tables of eight may be purchased for $750, and tables of 10 for $950.
For further event and ticket information, please call 707-263-6222, email
