According to downtownrochestermi.com/festival of trees the event is being held this year at the Royal Park Hotel, not the Community House as in the past. The first sentence states this is the 7th Annual, but another sentence states the non-profit program kicked off in 2018. Did it just become a fundraiser in 2018?
