Tips & Advice
- Buy your tree chances in a bundle rather than one at a time, because the multi-ticket packs give you more chances for the money.
- Get your tree chances in before the Sunday, Dec. 13 drawing, since the trees are only displayed until then.
- Come to the Nov. 11 kick-off to see the close to 50 themed trees right when the festival opens.
- If you want to decorate a tree, request one early, because trees go out first come, first served and are due Nov. 6.
- Pair your visit with a meal at Ember Restaurant & Bar, since the trees fill the lobby it shares with the resort.
Special Events & Promotions
- Kick-off event on Nov. 11 opens the festival.
