Festival of Trees

You are invited to sponsor and decorate a Christmas tree at the Landing at the Chamber’s 2nd Festival of Trees, to be held on December 5 in conjunction with the City of Fort Walton Beach Tree Lighting festivities and the Fort Walton Beach Christmas Boat Parade. 

Promote your business - support your favorite non-profit - and kick off the holiday season by decorating an 8-ft tree (sponsored by Sam’s Club).  You’ll receive a tree, a logoed sponsorship sign, and a spot (with electricity - you supply the lights you need) at the Landing.  You’re responsible for decorating the tree on the 5th.  Visitors to the event will vote on - and bid on! - their favorites.  Decorated trees will be sold, via silent auction bids, and the funds will be donated to the non-profits chosen by the sponsors.  (Trees must be removed from the park that evening.)

Prizes will be awarded at the First Friday Coffee in January.  Categories:  Best in Show, Most Creative Use of a Starfish, and Best Representation of Your Business.  Participants are encouraged (but not required) to use this year’s theme colors of white, emerald green, and sunset red, and to incorporate the year’s symbol, a starfish, into the design.
