Macaroni Kid South Baltimore is once again excited to be a Media Sponsor of Kennedy Krieger Institute's Festival of Trees. This year Kennedy Krieger will be going virtual for this well-loved family event. With health and safety a priority to all, this year's Festival of Trees has been reimagined as an online experience, with the addition of a new, drive-through Toy Drive at the Maryland State Fairgrounds!
Invite your family and friends to join you in supporting the more than 25,000 children and families that Kennedy Krieger serves each year. You can attend this exciting event from nearly anywhere this year. It's the perfect start to the holiday season and a great way to support Kennedy Krieger Institute. The interactive Event Experience Portal will be accessible on the three days following Thanksgiving for 24 hours each day.
Kennedy Krieger's Festival of Trees will include:
- One-of-a-kind, designer-decorated trees, wreaths and gingerbread houses on display and for sale online

NEW this year! The first-ever Festival of Trees Toy Drive will be held outside at the Maryland State Fairgrounds on Friday, November 26, and Saturday, November 27, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. They will be collecting toys for patients and students at Kennedy Krieger.
