Aspirus Health Foundation Festival of Trees

About the Event

Be part of the magic!

Get in the holiday giving spirit during this Thanksgiving week event at the Central WI Convention +EXPO Center in Rothschild. Stroll through a glittering forest of holiday trees, wreaths, mantels and specialty items decorated and donated by community members and businesses for our silent auction and raffle.

Funds raised support end-of-life care through Aspirus Comfort Care & Hospice Services, including community bedrooms at the Hospice House, and the Aspirus Family House, which provides a place to stay when people need to travel to Wausau for care.
