Philly Goat Project Christmas Tree-Cycle Festival
The Philly Goat Project’s Christmas Tree-Cycle Festivals are back! This year Philly Goat Project is hosting three Christmas Tree-Cycle events, the first two at their home at The Farm at Awbury Arboretum and the third at Laurel Hill West Cemetery.
Event Details:
● Saturday, January 4, 2025 (Rain date: January 5) – The Farm at Awbury Arboretum
● Saturday, January 11, 2025 (Rain date: January 12) – The Farm at Awbury Arboretum
● Saturday, January 18, 2025 (Rain date: January 19) – Laurel Hill West Cemetery
All three events take place from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
These highly anticipated events are family-friendly farm festivals in support of the nonprofit. There is a $20 donation requested per Christmas tree. These donations support Philly Goat Project’s free year-round programming, including community goat walks, children’s literacy events in libraries & schools, environmental education events throughout city parks, youth job training programs, animal-assisted therapy events, and bereavement programming.
Donated Christmas trees provide delicious snacks for the goats, and what they don’t eat is turned into wood chips for trails in city parks and community gardens thanks to a partnership with the Philadelphia Sanitation Department. Decorations should be removed from trees before donating them.
Guests can enjoy an afternoon packed with activities at this year’s Christmas Tree-Cycle festivals, including:
● Farm Explorations: Discover the magic of the farm.
● Roaring Fire Pit: Warm up with free s’mores and hot cocoa.
● Games: Kids can participate in fun games in the Farm Olympics at Awbury and games for all ages at both locations
● Goat Petting Zone: Meet and cuddle the goats of Philly Goat Project.
● Quiet Visiting Area: A calm space for guests with special needs.
● Philly Goat Project Swag Tables: Swag will be available, including Philly Goat Project’s 2025 calendar showcasing the goats at Philadelphia landmarks. This year’s calendar features the goats on Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Philadelphia Eagles, and on stage at the Kimmel Center alongside the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Attendees are welcome to join the festivities even without a tree.
