Clermont’s Annual Enchanted Christmas Tree Forest is ready for all to view at Victory Pointe near Downtown Clermont, behind the Clermont Historic Village. About 50 Christmas trees were installed and set up this past week by City of Clermont event staff and the city’s Public Services staff. Each of the participants creatively decorated their own trees to showcase their organizations and businesses.
Children can write, sign, seal and drop off their letters to Santa Claus at the North Pole. This mailbox will be available until December 20, 2021. City officials note, “Don’t forget to include your return address on your letters to Santa, so he will be able to write back to you, your children and grandchildren! Be sure to bring all your “gnomies” to all of the Holiday activities going on in Clermont to celebrate the season.”
Chris Dudeck, acting Parks and Recreation Director noted, “We are very proud that this second annual event has become an exciting one-of-a-kind holiday experience for our community! The Victory Pointe Enchanted Christmas Tree Forest is a unique opportunity for these special tree displays to be enjoyed all season long by visitors with enchanted festivities!”
These beautifully decorated seven-foot-tall trees can be seen at the Holiday Enchanted Forest during the day and lit up each night until 10 pm at Victory Pointe, 938 Victory Way. The trees will remain up through January 2, 2022.
The Holiday Enchanted Forest is free and open to the public. Wear your holiday outfits and bring your cameras!
Below are a few of the groups and businesses that helped provide Clermont Magic this holiday season.
