Tips & Advice

- Look closely at each entry, since many have gift cards, specialty treats, beverages or experiences tucked into the design along with the wreath itself.
- Cast your vote for the Top 10 Audience Choice winners while you walk through the display at the Carroll Arts Center.
- Leave time to browse the Gallery of Gifts during your visit if you're shopping for presents for people on your holiday list.
- If you're crafty, register an entry for the festival; it doesn't need to be round or Christmas-themed, and recycled wreaths are encouraged.
