THE BUOY TREE:!
It’s Back for 2024! You Help Make it Happen!
Public Art Vermilion’s Buoy Tree was a wonderful collaboration of individuals, families, businesses and organizations who helped create this memorable public art installation last holiday season. By popular demand, we’re bringing it back for the upcoming holiday and winter season!
This fantastic display will be all new with twinkling lights and a collection of 350 original buoys that participants will paint or decorate to create a truly one-of-a-kind display. The finished buoys will be hung on our 12’ high buoy frame in Downtown Vermilion from 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 opportunity (we sold out fast last year). Thousands of visitors to Vermilion during the holidays and Ice A Fair enjoyed the unique experience and art of the Buoy Tree. We know this year’s tree will be just as popular…and you’re invited to help make it happen!
