The blockbuster event of the season is back: Grayslake Giving Trees exhibit lights up the room with an exhibit of trees decorated by local organizations at the Grayslake Heritage Center & Museum! Local nonprofits will decorate trees to showcase their mission or the chosen theme, “Movies” for 2025.

You’ll have the opportunity to vote for your favorite tree or just enjoy the festivities. Votes are $1 per ticket and the organization with the most votes keeps the entire profit from their tree. The remaining organizations split the proceeds with the Grayslake Historical Society.

Grayslake Giving Trees opens on Friday, November 28th (12 pm - 7 pm) and remains open through the end of the calendar year.
