Festival of Trees at Fairlawn Plaza: A Topeka Holiday Tradition

The Festival of Trees at Fairlawn Plaza in Topeka, Kansas, is a beloved annual event that brings the community together to celebrate the holiday season while supporting a great cause. Organized by SLI (Success, Learning & Inclusion), this festival has been a staple in Topeka for 47 years, offering a festive atmosphere filled with beautifully decorated trees, wreaths, and a variety of holiday activities.

The Festival of Trees is more than just a holiday event; it is the signature fundraiser for SLI. All proceeds from the festival support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, helping to cover unfunded needs and enhance their quality of life. By participating in the festival, attendees contribute to a meaningful cause while enjoying the festive atmosphere

The success of the Festival of Trees is made possible by the dedication of volunteers and the generosity of the Topeka community. Each year, local businesses, organizations, and individuals come together to create and donate the beautiful trees and wreaths, as well as items for the silent auction. This collective effort not only makes the festival a visual delight but also strengthens community bonds.

Whether you’re looking to start your holiday shopping, enjoy some festive treats, or simply soak in the holiday spirit, the Festival of Trees at Fairlawn Plaza is the perfect destination. Mark your calendars and bring your family and friends to experience this cherished Topeka tradition.
