Dear Raising AZ Kids Team,

My name is Jessica Contreras. I am reaching out on behalf of the members of the El Zaribah Shriners to share an exciting holiday event happening in Phoenix this Thanksgiving weekend:

Winter Fest & Feztival of Trees
El Zaribah Shrine Auditorium, 552 N. 40th St., Phoenix, AZ 85008
Friday, November 28 – Sunday, November 30, 2025 (10 am - 4 pm each day)
More info: www.phoenixwinterfest.com

ABOUT THE EVENT
The Shriners Winterfest & FEZtival of Trees is one of our biggest events of the year! It’s a FREE, 3 day family-friendly holiday festival filled with fun, shopping, food, and the chance to win incredible decorated Christmas trees!

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS

TREES TO WIN!
Local businesses and organizations donate fully decorated artificial trees, each valued at $750+ and are packed with amazing gifts. Past prizes have included TVs, PlayStations, BBQ grills, golf clubs, and more! You never know what's next!

 How it works: Buy raffle tickets for just $1 each, drop them into the buckets of the trees you love, and you could walk away with the tree plus all the decorations and gifts on it. And here’s the best part—there’s no limit to how many tickets you can buy! The more tickets you drop in, the better your chances of taking home your dream tree. 

 KIDS ACTIVITIES
We’ll have fun crafts and activities for the kiddos… and maybe even a visit from Santa himself! 

 FOOD & DRINKS
Delicious food and drinks will also be available for purchase—so you can make a whole outing of it!

 MERRY MAKERS VENDOR MARKET
Get your holiday shopping done while having fun! Our vendor market will be filled with homemade goodies, crafts, and gifts you won’t find anywhere else.
