Creating festive holiday experiences for all

in the heart of Downtown Missoula.

The festival has been a popular community event for over 20 years and offers a variety of activities for all ages including public display of locally designed trees and holiday items.

With a focus on community health and inclusivity, the 2021 Festival of Trees will continue the new format of a multi-space, multi-day Tour of Trees with opportunities to win one of 10 designer-decorated tree this holiday season and we will continue with this format for 2021. Many of the trees will be viewable from outside of the businesses, and all of the hosts will have COVID-safe protocols in place. Public viewing of the trees is available during business hours from Friday, Nov. 26 through Sunday, Dec. 5, and everyone is encouraged to stay in small groups.

Christine Littig	Clyde Coffee 741 S. Higgins, Unit A	It's a Plywood Christmas: This tree is a custom built, 6' high pyramid, built using the same material, plywood, that we used through the store and lit from within. Like everything we do at Clyde, it's beautiful but is minimal and highlights humble materials in classic shapes. It's a whimsical and festive take on a traditional fresh tree, but still uses wood and the classic Christmas tree shape. Because it's lit from below and within, it appears to both float and glow. All decorations were hand printed in our inhouse print shop.
Kathryn Morris	Bitterroot Flower Shop 811 S Higgins	Handcrafted and Local Bounty: This beautiful 7 ft tree is decorated with locally grown dried flowers and handmade ornaments (made by the talented Bitterroot Flower Shop Staff). Gifts donated by local businesses with a treat for everyone in the family, including tires, a spa treatment, coffee and dinner treats and a year round family experience at SpectrUM.
