Festival of Trees at Deering Estate
Kick off the holiday season of events at the Deering Estate!
Tour the historic houses at the Deering Estate as they come alive with holiday accents and decorations. The holiday decorating is an annual tradition, and this year will feature some of South Florida’s top interior designers, led by Deering Estate Designer-in-Residence, Alfredo Brito.
Brito will recreate the glory of Christmas Eve in the Richmond Cottage in 1903, replete with the sounds, aromas and decorations from that era. Guests will travel back in time to the year when the first teddy bear was introduced which provided the inspiration for the decor in the Richmond Cottage’s second-floor playroom.
Brito, along with five additional interior designers, will transform the Stone House with historic holiday decor, filing each room with the grandeur and iconic beauty of the Gilded Age when the house was first built. A special thanks to all who donated their services to enhance the holiday experience!
