A Bel Air Holiday Tradition
For generations, families throughout Harford County have kicked off the Christmas season with a visit to the Bel Air Lions Club Christmas Tree Lot — our biggest fundraiser of the year! Every tree purchased helps fund the Lions Club’s programs right here in our community, supporting vision care, youth initiatives, local nonprofits, and much more.
Each year, we sell approximately 1,000 premium-quality trees, helping families bring the scent and spirit of the holidays home while supporting a great cause.
A Big Thank You!
