Hope for the Holidays, presented by IU Credit Union, is our sixth annual holiday tree festival and charity auction to benefit New Hope for Families, serving families overcoming homelessness right here in our community. Come see more than 50 unique and festive holiday trees decorated by local businesses, organizations, groups and families. The festival is free to attend and open to the public.

Throughout the festival, each of the fantastic trees on display can be purchased for a special "Buy It Now" price. This year we are launching a silent auction which begins on Monday, November 18, at 6:00pm by scanning a QR code at the tree festival or clicking on the link on the New Hope website. The silent auction ends on Wednesday, November 20, at 5:30pm. At this time the high bid will transfer to the live auction on Wednesday November 20, at 6:00pm. If you cannot attend the live auction you can give a proxy bid to the New Hope staff.

In addition to the lights and tinsel, guests can also enjoy free cookies and hot cocoa along with live entertainment every night! Pili's Party Taco Truck will be selling food on Wednesday!
