No cost and no reservation needed. Just bring your camera and smile with Santa.
Explore the festive trees at the Greensboro Cultural Center. Each tree is decorated by a family, local corporation, or a non-profit and you get to pick the best ones. The five top trees will receive a donation of $500 for a non-profit of their choosing.
