There are some holiday traditions in the Hoosier State that we just can’t get enough of, like…okay, all of ’em. There are so many things to do in Indiana during the winter that it might be hard to narrow it down to just a few things (but why narrow things down, to begin with? Just do all of it), but there are a few events that are must-dos each and every year. Take, for example, the twinkly, magical delight that is the Festival of Trees in Indiana. You can’t miss this amazing spectacle that graces the halls of the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center, making spirits merry and bright like nothing else can!

The 2022 Festival of Trees began on November 11th, and it runs all the way until January 7th, 2023, so there's plenty of time to enjoy it.
