Festival of Trees

The beloved Festival of Trees began as a Keep Johnston County Beautiful fundraiser and has grown into a signature event of the Johnston Health Foundation. Each December, the Johnston Medical Mall in Smithfield is transformed into a winter wonderland filled with the scents of the season, sparkling trees, and stunning decor—welcoming an estimated 15,000 visitors of all ages.

New This Year: Shine a Light on Community Partners

UNC Health Johnston is proud to celebrate the meaningful work being done by organizations across our community—and this is one more way to show our support. Look for some of our local non-profits' trees during the festival and learn more about their work in our community.
