Christmas may still be over a month away, but the holiday spirit is in full swing for this weekend's Festival of Trees.

For their 21st year, the Junior League of Duluth is pulling off what has become the Northland's largest holiday arts and crafts show.

Taking over the Lake Superior College campus, over 150 vendors line the halls.

There are a number of decorated trees, more than 12- hundred pounds of toffee, and lots of handmade crafts.

It's the organization's biggest fundraiser of the year.

Cathy Wolf, with the Junior League says, "It goes for some of our projects, so some of the money will go towards rebuilding Playfront Park, it goes to train women to be volunteers... some of us get to go to leadership training. It goes back into the community. So, it goes towards all kinds of things, but our focus is women and children."

If you aren't able to make it down to the Festival of Trees by Sunday at 3PM, there are still 2 days left of the online auction.
