The spirit of the season fills the cavernous warehouse space on The Patios at Westfield Town Center.

The ninth annual Festival of Trees is a celebration of the holidays and a signature fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clarita Valley.

“We want everyone to come out and celebrate the holidays with us,” said Gary Condie, president of the Boys & Girls Club Foundation.

Condie and his wife, Myrna Condie, brought the concept of Festival of Trees to the Club after seeing it done in Utah.

The event kicked off with a VIP Preview on Friday night, followed by Saturday’s Jingle Jam adult nightclub.

The Festival of Trees has been open daily to the public. It continues today 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Sunday noon to 7 p.m.; Nov. 21-22 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Nov. 23 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for item pickup.

A family magic show will be held out 6:30 p.m. Friday. Tickets are $10 each and available at the door.

More than 40 elaborately decorated trees will be sold in a live auction Saturday at the Magic of the Lights Gala.

Tabletop trees and gingerbread houses, as well as a selection of full-size trees are available in a silent auction that closes Sunday.

Stockings and wreaths are available for immediate sale.
