Enchanted Forest

The Enchanted Forest at Christmas in the Park is the largest art project in the city, and a beloved tradition. We offer 600 trees for anyone in the community to decorate.

Please use this link to order your tree

• We provide the tree (6 to 8ft tall), a sign, access to power and a string of lights. That tree is safely staked in our Park – nothing for you to do but decorate.
• Decorating days are Nov 25, 26 and 27 from 9-6 pm.
• The theme this year is “A Green Christmas.” This can mean anything you want – sustainable decorations, green decorations, green animal decorations, etc.
• We ask for a $25 undecorating deposit, refundable when you return to the park to strip your tree of decorations.

Four Tree Categories

• Community Trees ($100): Non-profits, community groups, scouts, schools, daycare centers, sport teams or religious affiliations.
• Family Trees ($100): Family and Friend groups. (Please do not use this category for Memorial Trees.)
• Memorial Trees sold out in 30 days. We welcome you to bring an ornament 5 inches or smaller to hang on our Community Memorial Tree during our decorating days.
• Company/Sponsor Trees ($600): Companies and businesses of any size, including government officials. These trees are larger, and get prime placement in our Park. The undecorating fee does not apply to our Company/Sponsor Trees.

About Tree Decorating

• Decorating days are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Nov 25-27 from 9am-6pm. Please check-in at the information booth to receive your tree assignment. No appointment needed.
• Your $25 deposit will be returned once you undecorate your tree the first week of January. Or, you can let us know you’d prefer us to take care of it for you and we’ll keep the $25.
• We provide one 8×10 sign with your tree name. Company logos are included on the signs for our sponsor trees.
• Decorating trees is fun. For their safety, children must remain with an adult at all times.
• No food (pasta, cookies, cereal).
• Paper ornaments must be laminated.
• Your decorations must withstand wind and rain. Use sturdy wires to attach ornaments to prevent them from being blown or knocked off the tree. Please do not use zip ties to attach ornaments.
• We provide a string of LED lights. You may attach an additional 2 strings of 100 LED lights. A tree-topper counts as a string of lights. (A total of 3 items can be plugged in.)
• Absolutely NO flocking or spray painting of any kind on your tree.
• Your tree is approximately 7ft tall. We recommend a minimum of 80 ornaments for your tree.
• Bring your own tools and supplies (pliers, scissors, tape, ornament hangers, small stepladder). We cannot provide any supplies.
• Any decorations on the ground must fit under your tree. Unfortunately, we can’t permit extra items around your tree.
• You may add one extra sign (8 ½ by 11). Additional signs will be removed.
