Visit our Countywide Strategic Plan Tree at the 2026 Ward O'Hara Festival of Trees
The Cayuga County Department of Planning & Economic Development is pleased to once again participate in the Ward O'Hara Festival of Trees and invites community members to stop by and enjoy this festive holiday tradition.
Hosted annually by the Ward O'Hara Agricultural & Country Living Museum, the Festival of Trees features more than 200 uniquely decorated trees showcasing a wide variety of themes, styles, and creative designs. It is a wonderful opportunity for residents and visitors alike to celebrate the holiday season while supporting a cherished local attraction!
This year marks our department's second year participating in the festival. Our staff once again designed and decorated a tree that reflects the character, values, and future of Cayuga County. Inspired by the Countywide Strategic Plan and the communities it serves, the display highlights planning initiatives and projects taking place throughout the county.
Visitors will find a variety of elements that represent Cayuga County's towns, villages, and unique community assets. The tree also showcases themes related to smart growth, economic development, community planning, and collaboration, all of which help guide the County's ongoing efforts to support vibrant and resilient communities.
We hope you'll enjoy the Festival of Trees and learn more about the exciting work happening throughout Cayuga County this holiday season!
