The World’s Tallest Glass Tree teaches about glass, marvels the senses, and serves as the centerpiece of an artisan market with fun activities in Williams Bay the next few weeks
The World’s Tallest Glass Tree is once again going up at Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, Wisconsin. It’s the centerpiece of science, art, and holiday fun that can be had the weekends of December 5-7 and 12-14, 2025. Rob Elliott and Jason Mack join host Eric Paulsen for a quick, fun, informative conversation on how they seek to break the world record yet again building this glass tree with the active help of visitors, how you can learn about the infinite possibilities of glass, and it’s all part of an artisan market with crafts, food, and fun activities both weekends. It takes place at Yerkes Observatory along Highway 67 in Williams Bay just off Geneva Lake with a free shuttle from the nearby high school.

The Worlds Tallest Glass Tree is done to help raise awareness about the infinite possibilities around glass and how it is infinitely recyclable, can be customized with colors, made into a myriad of shapes, and more. Jason Mack of Mack Glass covers this as well in this episode, as well as our earlier discussion about this tree and event from 2024. The event, which runs December 5th-7th and 12th-14th, 2025, is right along Highway 67 in Williams Bay at Yerkes Observatory in the Lake Geneva area. You can park at Williams Bay High School and take the free shuttle, it’s barely a 2-minute ride!
