​The exhibit is free (donations are always appreciated) and open Thursday through Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. at 189 West Main Street in Brevard.

This year’s theme is the Fun & Fabulous Fifties, celebrating the Space Age origins of aluminum Christmas trees with rock ’n’ roll energy and pure mid-century sparkle. Visitors will find more than two dozen vintage aluminum trees glowing under rotating color wheels, the ever-popular Shiny Brite Forest with over 400 classic ornaments, and several exciting new features.

New additions to the tree collection this year include a very generous donation from a family in Pennsylvania- a beautiful 7′ Revlis tree rotating on a vintage tree stand!

You can also learn the shimmering story of Marshall Rauch’s satin balls-the mid-century Christmas ornament that turned a Gastonia thread mill into the world’s largest ornament maker. There’s plenty more to discover as you wander through the sparkling rooms.

Look for a special Elvis tribute, including a free Elvis impersonator performance during Brevard’s Light Up The Night Festival on December 5 at 6 p.m.

Bring the family, make a day of it with local shops and restaurants, and step back into the shiny optimism of the 1950s!
