Experience the Glowing Festival in the Dark of Night!
Fort Wayne, Ind. (Nov. 28, 2025) – The Embassy Theatre is thrilled to announce a Festival of Trees one-night experience like no other. The organization is hosting a wee hours popup event tonight, November 28 from 11:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. on November 29. The public will see 63 glowing trees and the beauty of the Embassy at a time when most don’t get to visit the historic venue and iconic annual Festival.
Come celebrate the kickoff of the holiday season at the Festival of Trees late night experience where the lights are dim, but the trees are shining bright! With an upbeat holiday playlist, patrons will see the Festival of Trees like they have never before with fun elements like haze, special lighting effects and some surprises. Bars and concessions will be available to make the visit even more enjoyable.
Help the Embassy light up Jefferson Boulevard and Harrison Street! When the city is sleeping, the Embassy will be alive with holiday cheer and fun!
The Festival of Trees was founded in 1984 and continues to serve as the biggest annual fundraiser for the Embassy Theatre Foundation. Ambassador Enterprises is the title sponsor of the 2025 Festival.
Tickets for this unique popup event are $15 and must be purchased onsite at the Star Bank box office.
