Twenty-seven creations signed by famous Romanian designers and artists are expecting their buyers at the twelfth edition of the Christmas Trees Festival. Money raised from the evening auction gala will be donated to children without education and financial support through the Save the Children foundation. The event will take place on December 6 at Radisson Blu Hotel and starts at 19.00.

The special guest of this year’s festival edition is Agnes Keszeg, the known illustrator and puppet designer.

The Christmas Trees Festival began in 2001 when Save the Children foundation came up with a unique way of raising funds to offer education to children living in vulnerable places.

Save the Children is an NGO active in promoting children rights since 1990. In its 22 years of activity, over 750,000 children have benefited from the organization’s programs. More details about these programs can be found on their website.
