The 2025 edition of the Plaistow Festival of Trees kicks off Friday and runs through the weekend with decorated trees, regular appearances from Santa and more.
In addition to trees, crafters will be on hand offering handmade items for gift giving and a snack bar will be available. A raffle table will include a number of items.
The festival, sponsored jointly by the Plaistow Fish and Game Club and Plaistow Lions Club, opens at 11 a.m., Friday, Nov. 28, and runs to 4 p.m., at 18 May Ray Ave., Plaistow, N.H.
Breakfast with Santa is scheduled for 8 to 11 a.m., Saturday, Nov. 29, with the fair itself open until 4. Sunday’s hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Raffle table winners will be announced at 3 p.m. on Sunday with the trees winners to follow.
The festival is free, but attendees are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items and gift cards to purchase toys for children in the community who would otherwise go without.
