🎄✨ Join Us for a Season of Sparkle, Service, and Community Spirit! ✨🎄

The beloved Festival of Giving returns to The Children’s Museum of the Treasure Coast for its second spectacular year under the museum’s care — a treasured tradition originally created by Tykes & Teens and carried forward with even greater purpose and passion!

This year, the magic continues to welcome local nonprofits from across five counties — Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, and Okeechobee — for an expanded celebration that uplifts, educates, and supports the families and children who make our region shine. Together, we’re creating a true Festival of Community Impact!

Step into a winter wonderland of beautifully decorated trees, wreaths, and centerpieces, lovingly donated by local businesses, organizations, and individuals. Each piece will be raffled off, with proceeds supporting nonprofits that align with the museum’s mission: to inspire through education, strengthen families, and even show love to our furry friends!

🎁 But the Festival is more than a fundraiser — it’s a stage for stories that matter. Stories of participating nonprofits will share how they are making a difference every day, creating a ripple effect of kindness and connection throughout our community.

Whether you're a longtime supporter or discovering the Festival for the first time, come be part of something heartwarming and joyful — where every ornament and ribbon tells a story of giving.

A very special thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, Tracey MacLeod of The Ngo, Illustrated Properties — your generosity and vision help bring this festival to life. We are deeply grateful for your support and partnership.

🗓️ Mark your calendars and bring your holiday cheer — because the Festival of Giving is more than an event — it’s a movement of hope, joy, and togetherness. Let’s celebrate the season and give back in the most meaningful way possible!
