MetroWest Boys & Girls Clubs Plan Drive-Up 'Festival Of Trees'
Like most other celebrations, the Boys and Girls Clubs of MetroWest has updated its annual holiday festival and fundraiser for the pandemic.
MARLBOROUGH, MA — The Boys & Girls Clubs of MetroWest will hold its annual "Festival of Trees" this year, but like almost every other holiday celebration, the event will be rearranged for the pandemic.
The annual event features trees decorated with sponsorship from local businesses and groups. The trees are then raffled off to festival attendees, with all proceeds going to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of MetroWest.
This year, the trees will be arranged outside the Marlborough Boys & Girls Club at 169 Pleasant St. Visitors will be able to drive through the display and enter the raffle drawing. This year's event takes place Dec. 5 from 2 to 6 p.m.
