The Vista Wishing Tree is a community space for unspoken words, dreams, resolutions, expressions of gratitude and a way to spread joy. A place where thanks, joy, hope and faith can land and be witnessed. All are welcome to share their wishes, feelings, inspiration, intentions and thanks at the Vista Wishing Tree.
Located at the corner of Beverly Dr & Wolverine Way, Vista 92084.
There is no cost to participate. The Wishing Tree is lit at night and will be up throughout the holidays until just after New Year’s Day. Legend has it if there are a 1,000 wishes made, they all come true.
We often don’t see or recognize the goodness around us. The Wishing Tree helps us notice and record it. Knowing that there is always something to be thankful for, can keep one on the lookout for goodness and kindheartedness, which is a great way to go about life. Share your thoughts or expressions of gratitude by filling out a tag and hanging it on the Wishing Tree. There is a small table where tags and markers available. After expressing your thoughts, please tie your wish securely to the ribbons and strings to share. Invite family and friends to participate. #VistaWishingTree
