OCEAN CITY, MD — Nov. 24, 2025 —The Art League of Ocean City invites the public to tour and vote for their favorite decorated trees at “Trees for the Arts” at Northside Park during Winterfest of Lights. The winning tree wins the $1,000 grand prize, sponsored by the Town of Ocean City.

Trees for the Arts is an indoor pathway at Winterfest of Lights through 16 trees decorated by local individuals, businesses, and groups.

We’ll use the proceeds to reach out and inspire the youth of our community. The tree of the winning organization receives $1,000 to help fund their mission.”
