Festival of Wreaths
This festive annual fundraiser features wreaths decorated by local businesses, organizations and individuals. Wreaths donated are put on display at the museum and are sold to the highest bidder through an online auction. The Aurora Museum Foundation will select a few wreaths for a live auction at the Grand Celebration on Saturday, Nov. 16.
All donated wreaths will be on display at the Aurora History Museum’s Community Gallery where they can be viewed by thousands of individuals from Tuesday, Nov. 5 to Sunday, Dec. 6.
This year’s proceeds will go towards saving Aurora’s history through obtaining a
new museum storage facility. The new storage facility is a critical need to sustain
the long-term preservation, conservation, and care of Aurora’s history for future
generations. Become an Aurora History Hero and donate to your city museum!
Join us for The Grand Celebration on Saturday, Nov. 16 from 3 to 6 p.m. The Grand Celebration is not only in honor of the Festival of Wreaths, but will also celebrate the 45th Anniversary founding of the Aurora History Museum and the 10th year anniversary of the Ruth Fountain Gallery.
Check out this year’s lineup of festive holiday wreaths created by community partners and friends of the museum. Bid in person during the event. During the opening night come mix and mingle over delicious hors d'oeuvre. Enjoy a variety of festive entertainment and learn more about what is coming to the Aurora History Museum in 2025.
