Holiday Tree Celebration

Businesses, non-profit organizations, and civic groups may reserve a spot to participate by decorating a tree. You must provide your own tree and decorations. This year’s theme is “A CLAUS FOR CELEBRATION.”

Businesses and organizations can set up and decorate their trees from Monday, November 18th through Thursday, December 5th, 2024. Holiday tree winners will be determined by a team of selected judges on Friday, December 6, 2024.

Contact your local branch library if you have questions about participating in the holiday tree decorating event.

The five branch locations of the Hancock County Library System and the Library Foundation of Hancock County are pleased to present the 30th Annual HOLIDAY TREE CELEBRATION.

Visit each of our branch libraries during the HOLIDAY TREE CELEBRATION to view more than one hundred decorated holiday trees from community exhibitors! And, get your photo with Santa!
