Tips & Advice
- Plan your visit for Tuesday through Sunday, because the Tree Walk is closed on Mondays and the last day of the exhibit is Saturday, December 26.
- Organizations should get the registration packet in by October 16, since tree spots are drawn by lottery on October 23.
- Use new lights or lights in good working condition on your tree, because they stay on for long stretches over the whole run of the exhibit.
- Don't count on your tree keeping its spot, because the Opera House may rearrange trees after decorating to suit the space and the look of the exhibit.
- Sign your group up for the Usher Program if you want perks like early Tree Walk entrance or preferred placement in the Community Room.

Who decorates the trees?
Local organizations and businesses decorate the trees. They're displayed throughout the Woodstock Opera House.

Bring an artificial tree, ornaments, a sturdy stand and lights that are new or in good working order. A tree skirt is optional. Don't bring extension cords (the Opera House supplies them), motorized trees or ornaments, live trees, open flames, donation boxes, brochures or flyers.
