Deck the Trees 2026 in the Swannanoa Valley

Deck the Trees puts decorated Christmas trees in participating businesses across the Swannanoa Valley from December 3, 2026, through January 1, 2027. It is a holiday fundraiser for the Swannanoa Valley Christian Ministry's Fuel Fund, which helps local residents pay to heat their homes, and the organizers say this is its 16th year.

Visitors drop by the participating locations during business hours, using the Google Maps Tree Trail or the tree locations brochure, and vote for favorite trees by donating $1 per vote, as many times as they like. Each tree has a QR code for online giving and a box for cash or checks. Photos of every tree go up on the Deck the Trees homepage for anyone who cannot visit in person.
