SPEARFISH, S.D. – The Zonta Club of Spearfish’s Festival of Trees is marking its 32nd year, bringing a festive celebration and a meaningful fundraiser to the community. This free event, running from now until Saturday, serves as both a celebration of the holiday season and a fundraising effort to support local non-profits or organizations dedicated to helping women and children.
Donations help with the following Zonta projects:
-Providing clothing and supplies to needy families
-Grants to local non-profits
-Scholarships to high school and college students
-“Zonta Says NO” – end domestic violence campaign
-And more
The Zonta Club’s mission is to serve the Spearfish community by recognizing and supporting the needs of women and children. The Festival of Trees is a way to raise money to continue that work. This festival features beautifully decorated trees donated by sponsors, businesses, and individuals throughout the city. The trees will be available for auction on Friday night, with a $30 admission fee for those participating in the bidding.

Katie Peterson, member of the Zonta Club, shared details about the event, saying, “We then do our auction night Friday, and then our trees are delivered on Saturday to all the residences or places of business that end up winning the trees.”
Beyond the tree auction, the festival offers a range of activities for attendees to enjoy and alongside the tree auction, a silent auction will feature baskets filled with goodies from local groups. Notably, an electric foldable bike will be part of the auction items.
