A holiday wonderland of creativity and generosity! This event has featured over 100 unique theme wreaths and holiday art pieces that range from whimsical to wacky to wonderful, in the past! The wreaths are sold through an online auction that benefits the Arts Council. Now in its 27th year, the Festival of Wreaths at the Carroll Arts Center has traditionally been one of the most eagerly awaited holiday events in the County. While all the bidding is done online, the Arts Center still hosts a cheery display of all the entries for patrons to visit!

The Festival exemplifies holiday generosity in many ways, through the valuable wreaths that are contributed, as well as the generous bids from the community. In the past, wreaths have been adorned with a wide range of items and decorations including semi-precious gems, $50 bills, sock monkeys, computer mice, thumb tacks, eyeglasses, duct tape, Legos®, flip flops, painted crab shells, used auto parts, origami, wine corks, autographed sports memorabilia, duct tape, and even toilet paper rolls! Many also come with token items like gift cards, specialty food and beverages, and unique experiences!
