Buffalo, NY (WKBW) -- The 32nd Annual Festival of Trees is lighting up the Hyatt this year in downtown Buffalo. "It starts the holiday season for everyone and gets you in that festive mood," Julie Williams, with the Hyatt Regency Hotel, said.

The theme is Winter Wonderland and there's more than just the trees this year but also a boutique full of different holiday items. "Oh we have table arrangements, jewelery... smaller wreaths, gourmet foods, chocolates, little gift items," Vice Chair of the Festival of Trees Annette McMahon said. "Our goal was to have items that everybody could walk away with, something from the festival."

The trees will be up for 12 days, until November 29th, and the boutique is open everyday until then too. All proceeds go to Women and Children's Hospital. "We invite anyone to come down and take a look and enjoy the beautiful scenery," Williams said.

"Come and be inspired, come and shop, come and just get in the spirit of the holidays," McMahon said.

The Black Tie Holiday Gala is on Saturday, November 21st. For more information on all of this, go to www.wchob.org.
