About the Buoy Tree Project
Public Art Vermilion’s Buoy Tree is a wonderful collaboration of individuals, families, businesses and organizations who helped create this memorable public art installation for the last two holiday and winter seasons.
This fantastic display will be all new with a collection of 350 original buoys that participants painted or decorated creating a truly one-of-a-kind display. The finished buoys are hung on a 12’ high buoy frame in Downtown Vermilion and can be viewed December through Ice A Fair in February 2025. A nod to Vermilion’s nautical history and a wonderful example of what happens when a community works together, you won’t want to miss this installation. Thousands of visitors to Vermilion during the holidays and Ice A Fair will enjoy the unique experience and art of the Buoy Tree. We hope you’ll be among them.
