Festival of Trees

Let the Holiday Magic Begin! Estes Park Quota's 2026 Festival of Trees

Estes Park, CO – It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! The Estes Park Quota Club invites the community to kick off the holiday season at its annual Festival of Trees celebration on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, from 5–7 p.m. at the Estes Park Resort.

Get ready for a dazzling display of holiday creativity! Nearly 50 beautifully decorated Christmas trees will transform the resort into a winter wonderland. Lovingly decorated by local individuals, businesses, and organizations throughout the Estes Valley, each tree features its own unique theme, personality, and festive surprises.

Bring the whole family and join the holiday fun!

Enjoy delicious homemade holiday cookies and hot cocoa as you wander through the sparkling trees. Step inside our life-size snow globe for a memorable holiday photo, visit with Santa Claus, and create a special ornament to take home (while supplies last). It's a wonderful way to make holiday memories with family and friends!

The Festival of Trees is more than just a holiday celebration—it's a cherished community tradition and an important fundraiser supporting Estes Park Quota's charitable work in the Estes Valley. Visitors can purchase chances to win their favorite decorated trees for just $1 per ticket, six for $5, or 13 for $10. Four special trees will be given away during the November 11 kick-off celebration!

Can't make the opening night? There's plenty of time to enjoy the magic! The trees will remain on display at the Estes Park Resort through Sunday, December 13, 2026, with the final drawing beginning at 3 p.m.

Best of all, admission is FREE, and everyone is welcome!

This magical holiday tradition wouldn't be possible without the generous support of our wonderful community sponsors. A heartfelt thank-you to our in-kind sponsors: Ember Restaurant & Bar, the Estes Park Resort, Estes Park News and Colorado Table Cloth.

We are equally grateful to our event sponsors:  Bank of Colorado, First Colorado Realty, Home Instead, Mary Jane's, RE/MAX Mountain Brokers, Rock Cut Brewery, Rocky Mountain Gateway, Simply Christmas, and the Trailhead Restaurant.
