Decorating Information

All trees will be provided to you and must be decorated during Decorator Days held at the Iowa Events Center Ballroom on November 23 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or November 24 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.

As the event gets closer, a member of our team will reach out with more details related to Decorator Day.

Please review some of the key Decorator Guidelines below and confirm your understanding by checking the box.

Tree Skirt Requirements*

Tree skirts are required. Recommended size is 60-inch circumference. A larger size is needed to cover the custom tree base and bag used for delivery. Tree skirts can be a large piece of fabric, blanket or sheet. The tree skirt remains with the tree and is not returned to you.

Personal Items*

NEW this year, NO personal items are allowed on the tree. Any personal items a decorator wants back must be placed around the tree and clearly marked.

Voting Box*

NEW this year, Festival of Trees & Lights will be providing each decorator a voting box. Decorators do not need to provide their own.

Tree Farm Information

Festival visitors are invited to bid on the trees in the Festival Tree Farm, and the highest bidder at close the afternoon of Sunday, November 30 will “win” the items and the tree to display in their home or business.

Tree Farm trees will be available for pick-up at the end of October.

Decorated trees must be delivered to the Iowa Events Center Ballroom on November 23 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or November 24 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.

You will receive emails with more details as Festival gets closer regarding pick-up and drop-off of your tree.

Please review some of the key Tree Farm Decorator Guidelines below and confirm your understanding by checking the box.

Tree Farm Tree Skirt Requirement*

Tree skirts are required. Recommended size is 48-inch circumference. Tree skirts can be a piece of fabric, blanket or sheet. The tree skirt remains with the tree and is not returned to you.

Donated Goods and/or Services Requirement*

In addition to decorations, donated goods and/or services of $250 or more must be part of your tree as these are part of a silent auction. Please note that tree decorations (i.e. ornaments) do not count toward the additional value. We will request your itemized list of items with values a few weeks out from the event.

Wiring on Ornaments*

All decorations must be wired on the tree, garland or wreath. Wired on means the wire hook is wrapped securely around the branch so when trees are moved for delivery the decorations do not fall off.

Decorator Guidelines*

Please check the box to confirm that you have reviewed the Decorator Guidelines noted above as well as the full document at the link below. The Festival Staff reserves the right to remove your tree if the guidelines are not followed.
