Alton Festival of Trees

Sunday, Dec 8, 2024 at 11:00am

Gilman Museum
123 Main Street

Here’s how it works :

This is for local businesses, organizations and residents who want to get creative with promoting your business and organization in ways you normally couldn’t. Get creative with using items that you sell, themed trees, toys or items that represent your business/organization. This is a fun way to display what your business/organization does and display your community pride!

The trees will be raffled off for $1 a ticket. A portion of the raffle ticket proceeds stay Local and go to the Alton Community Services Mrs. Santa Fund!

A display table will be provided for the GINGERBREAD HOUSES and voting categories are youth and adult.

Participating businesses/organizations/residents will Register and “donate” a tree, decked out with all the trimmings of their choosing! Participants will set up their tree or wreath at the museum.

Entry to this event is Free, but attendees have the option to purchase raffle tickets (for $1 each) for a chance to win their favorite tree(s) or wreath(s). Proceeds from the raffle will benefit the Alton Community Services/Mrs. Santa Fund. At the end of the event, each of the trees will be given to the raffle winners. Tree winners are announced on 12/8 and will be picked up that night or by 12/10.

We’ll also ask our community to vote for a “Community Favorite” tree.

At the end of the event, our participating businesses and residents will have made the season brighter, and supported a great local cause! This event also includes refreshments, music, a raffle and more…
