The Downtown Dayton Partnership is looking for the perfect tree to be the centerpiece of the 2025 Dayton Holiday Festival. Once lit, the tree will remain on the Courthouse Square stage throughout the holiday season. The ideal tree is between 40-50 feet tall, a full and stately evergreen with minimal bare spots, and easily accessible in the front or side yard of the nominee’s property.
Thousands of lights will adorn the tree before it’s officially lit for the first time during this year’s Grande Illumination celebration. Crews will cut down the selected tree, remove the stump, and transport the tree to Courthouse Square at no cost to the tree owners. The tree’s owners will also be recognized during the official tree-lighting ceremony.
Those who would like to nominate a tree can do so on the Dayton Holiday Festival webpage. A search crew will select this year’s winning tree at the end of October.
