The holidays feel a little brighter when you step inside the 32nd Annual Warther’s Christmas Tree Festival in Dover, Ohio. The Ernest Warther Museum & Gardens is renowned for its amazing carvings and beautiful gardens — but each November, it transforms into a Christmas wonderland, filled with twinkling lights and trees bursting with inspiration.
This year’s festival will run from November 15 to November 23, 2025. It’s open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, except on the last day, when it closes at 5 p.m. Tickets are just $5 for individuals 12 and older, and children under 12 are admitted free.
Fresh Ideas for Your Holiday Home
Every Christmas tree has its own style. Some feel traditional with warm lights and ornaments passed down for years. Others bring fun new ideas and colors. It’s a dream for anyone who loves decorating for Christmas or wants new ideas for their home.
Families love the children’s tree-decorating workshops during the festival. Kids make their own small trees to take home. Space fills up quickly, so booking ahead is a smart move.
