The Riverside Theatre in Vero Beach transforms into a winter
wonderland even before Thanksgiving arrives. The much
anticipated Festival of Trees weekend is a must for many
families and individuals around the Treasure Coast and even
beyond. The sparkling holiday event has epanded from
inside to most of the outdoor Riverside campus and features
an artiÀcial ice rink again this year, a delight for the kids and
their parents.
“They can skate in shorts and shortsleeves, no coats,” says
Oscar Sales, spokesman for the Riverside. “It’s so much fun
to watch.” Santa’s Village is outside with its Candy Cane
Cafe, arts and crafts, and of course, Santa himself. And, families
can look forward to more outdoor decorations than ever.
Inside, more than 50 trees adorned with Sugar and Spicethemed
decorations are on display in a holiday forest that
twinkles, glitters, and shines with holiday spirit. An intricately
made gingerbread village, handmade wreaths, choirs on
stage, a gift shop with unusual gifts, and vendors of holiday
decorations Àll the space in the children·s theatre.
