Tips & Advice

  • Stop by the Elko Conference Center during the week to look over the trees and wreaths before the gala and silent auction end the festival.
  • Plan how you'll get a fully decorated tree home before you bid, because silent auction winners take their prized decor with them.
  • Look for trees built around this year's theme, "Christmas in the USA, 250-Year Celebration!", since tree themes generally match the festival's theme.
  • Local charities and nonprofits that want to benefit from this year's proceeds can send in a 2026 Charity Partner Application to the Elko Convention and Visitors Authority.

Special Events & Promotions

  • The 2026 theme is "Christmas in the USA, 250-Year Celebration!"
  • The week ends with a glittery gala featuring trees decorated by local businesses and service groups, followed by the silent auction.
