Festival of Wreaths – Nov.4 to Dec. 5
The Festival of Wreaths is an opportunity for anyone to put their work on our museum's walls. For 26 years now, the annual fundraiser features wreaths decorated by local businesses, organizations and individuals. People come from all over the metro area to see the wreaths and vote on their favorite. Proceeds from this year’s Festival of Wreaths will go toward the museum’s internship program, which provides hands-on experience and career development to students looking to get into the museum, collections and historic preservation fields.
The exhibit will run from Nov. 4 to Dec. 5. An opening reception and celebration will take place Thursday, Nov. 13. Learn more at AuroraGov.org/Wreaths.
