Our Story

The Gansevoort Lighted Memory Tree Festival began with a simple idea: to create a space where our community could come together to remember loved ones and support those who have served our country. Each year, Veterans Park transforms into a beacon of hope and remembrance, filled with trees lit in honor of cherished memories.

Honoring Veterans

A core mission of the Gansevoort Lighted Memory Tree Festival is to support our veterans. Through donations and community involvement, we aim to provide donations received to veterans organizations in need, ensuring they receive the recognition and support they deserve. Your participation helps us make a tangible difference in their lives.

Community Spirit

More than just a festival, we are a celebration of community. The Gansevoort Lighted Memory Tree Festival brings an old-fashioned Christmas feeling back to our world, fostering togetherness, joy, and a shared sense of purpose. We invite you to be a part of this heartwarming tradition.

"The Gansevoort Lighted Memory Tree Festival fills Veterans Park with love, light, and community—honoring memories, helping veterans, and celebrating the true spirit of Christmas with family, joy, and togetherness."
