Dear Friends of the Festival of Trees:

This year marks the 52nd year of Gatlinburg’s Festival of Trees. Hospitality Solutions is honored to participate as the Presenting Sponsor again in 2026. The proceeds from Gatlinburg Festival of Trees 2025 will benefit Boys & Girls Club of the Smoky Mountains and the Gatlinburg Chamber Foundation. The Boys & Girls Club of the Smoky Mountains serves more than 2,000 local youth across Sevier County. The clubs offer youth a safe place to learn and grow through programs designed to build character and strengthen life skills when they are not at home or at school.

We are very pleased to announce that the proceeds from the Festival’s 52nd year netted a donation of $70,000 to Boys & Girls Club of the Smoky Mountains and $14,000 to the Gatlinburg Chamber of Commerce Foundation Scholarship Fund. With your help and participation, we hope to continue to make this 53rd year’s festival another successful one.

The Festival of Trees runs from November 25-29, 2026 and kicks off with Candy Canes and Cocktails Reception on the evening of Tuesday, November 24th. The Festival will feature a children’s craft and play area, photos with Santa Claus and, of course, the beautifully decorated Christmas trees and wreaths. Please join us in continuing the tradition of ringing in the Christmas season with the 2026 Festival of Trees!

If you are interested in sponsoring, participating in our event, or donating silent auction items for our Kickoff Reception, please email us at Amelia@hospitalitysolutions.net. The Festival will be open from 10 am to 7 pm Wednesday, November 25th through Saturday, November 28th, and on Sunday, November 29th from 10 am to 5 pm.

We greatly appreciate your support in continuing this beloved Christmas tradition that has been a part of our community for the past 52 years.

Sincerely,
