✨Our Opening Night TreeView Party at the Festival of Trees is our sparkliest event of our 10-day festival Presented by Advent Health!✨

Before the holiday rush, plan a fabulous holiday-chic outfit, book the sitter and join us for a night of festive fun!

Your Early Bird Ticket includes an advanced look at our outstanding display of designer-decorated Christmas trees and seasonal entertainment along with creative food offerings, a welcome drink and 2 additional drink tickets.

It’s very magical to walk the halls of Orlando Museum of Art at night with holiday displays, boutiques, wreaths, trees and of course art, adorning every space. The focal point Tree Lighting is also a memorable moment not to miss! ✨🌲✨

So if you’re looking for that holiday magic to kick off your season, OMA during Festival of Trees is something quite spectacular! Limited Tickets are available but they usually sell out- so book asap. Early Bird Pricing is $140 until Sept 13. Price will go up to $160 on Sept 14. Link in profile for tickets!

See you in sparkles!

Our August General Membership Meeting was a big success! We have 9 GMs each year and the August meeting is where we really share the groundwork for Festival of Trees and dive into the details!

Also, we love celebrating! And our professional administrator, Vanessa, received a beautiful gift basket for her recent marriage! We couldn’t be happier for her!

For the members who joined us in person, we hope you enjoyed the food and friendship! And for the members who joined on Zoom, thank you for your dedication to our meetings even though we know life gets busy and complicated.

Also, thank you to Elizabeth Benoit (101 President) and Elizabeth Petters (FOT Chair) for your leadership during this busy season!

See you at committee meetings, social gatherings and at the next GM in September!

The Overall Decor Team has already started making a dent! To get a head start, they will be working on projects off-site for the next 2.5 months and then the projects will be transported to OMA for the big reveal during Festival of Trees.

Swipe over for a sneak peek of what the team sourced.
Guess in the comments!

We love our Provisional Class so much, we held an evening social at Firebirds Wood Fired Grill to get to know them better and provide support and sage advise from our longterm members during their first year with Council of 101!

Every July the Council of 101 has a summer luncheon! ☀️🥗🍷It’s one of our most elaborate “meetings” of the year where we reconnect after our summer break, chat about our vacations and families and ramp up our energy for Festival of Trees planning!

This year, each table was designed and decorated by fellow 101ers…these photos are just a sample of the talent we have in our organization!

We love a party but rest-assured we are already down to business about FOT. Our 30+ committees have been established and are busy behind-the-scenes!

Our new member enrollment will be in Jan 2027. But if you’d like to become a volunteer or business partner for the Festival of Trees for Nov. 2026, please visit our website councilof101.org or email [email protected].

We hope everyone had a fabulous Summer! Happy Christmas in July!

It was a lovely celebration yesterday announcing the results of our volunteer efforts this past year as we proudly presented our record gift of $575,000 to Orlando Museum of Art Executive Director Cathryn Mattson.

Thank you to all of our members and supporters whose dedication, generosity, and passion made this extraordinary contribution possible. We look forward to another year filled with the same spirit of service, community, and friendship.

As our new Board of Directors was installed for the 2026-2027 year , we were also excited to announce the dates for the 2026 Festival of Trees, “40 Seasons of Joy,” November 13–22, 2026. Mark your calendars!

Our organization is stronger because of each and every one of our amazing member volunteers. Thank you for all that you do!
