Welcome to the Blennerhassett Hotel in Parkersburg, West Virginia at Christmas time. The Mid-Ohio Valley’s premiere landmark, this historic 86-bedroom hotel in downtown Parkersburg goes all out for the holiday season, even hosting one of the best, most festive winter festivals in the state: the Festival of Trees.

Beginning mid-November each year and running through early December, the unique West Virginia Festival of Trees event at the Blennerhassett has become a holiday tradition for many.

And that isn’t even the best part. The best part is that the Festival of Trees is all for a good cause: United Way.
