Tips & Advice
- Be there for the tree lighting that opens the night, because booths hold off on handing out their giveaways until the lighting is over.
- Head to the County Parking Lot across from Veterans Park for the community booths, where local groups give out treats, toys, crafts and games for families.
- If your organization wants a booth, register early through the rec1 portal, because space is limited and registration closes once spaces are filled.
- If you're donating a Tree Walk tree, use lights and weather-resistant ornaments, because the trees stand outdoors at Veterans Park and later go to local families in need.
- Booth hosts planning to run a popcorn machine or other power-hungry equipment should bring a quiet generator, because the city only supplies power for Christmas lights.
Special Events & Promotions
- For 2026, community booth registration is free from September 1 through November 27, or until spaces are filled.
