2025 Downtown Holiday Window Decorating Contest

A Downtown Holiday tradition for over 25 years, the annual Holiday Window Decorating Contest fills Downtown’s windows with glistening holiday cheer! The Downtown Missoula Partnership invites Downtown Missoula businesses to decorate their buildings/windows with colorful lights, scenery and a variety of decorative elements. Windows will stay decorated through the end of the year – take a tour around Downtown and connect to the Holiday Spirit! This year’s contest runs from November 29-December 18.

The contest is open to all businesses located in Downtown Missoula. Holiday displays include light displays on the entire building, and/or window decorations. Prizes are awarded in five categories based on community votes: Best Overall, Best Holly Jolly Vibe, Most Creative, Best Window for Kiddos, Best Wow Factor.
