Festival of Trees
Festival of Trees
The Festival of Trees returns to Downtown Nashua as a festive community fundraiser that brings local nonprofits, businesses, and residents together during the holiday season. This beloved tradition was originally created by the Board of Trustees for the Hunt Memorial Library, and we are grateful for their generosity in entrusting the event to the Downtown Nashua Association to continue and grow.

For the Festival of Trees, nonprofit organizations purchase and creatively decorate a synthetic holiday tree, which will be displayed at participating downtown businesses throughout the season. Each tree reflects the personality and mission of the nonprofit behind it, creating a cheerful holiday trail for visitors to explore as they stroll through downtown.
Visitors can purchase raffle tickets at any participating location and place them in the collection box for the tree they hope to win. At the end of the festival, one lucky participant will take home each beautifully decorated tree. In addition to helping support the Downtown Nashua Association’s free community events and programs, one quarter of the proceeds from the fundraiser will be awarded to the nonprofit whose tree receives the most raffle ticket entries.
The Festival of Trees kicks off during our Main Street Unwrapped celebration and continues through the holiday season, with winning tickets drawn the week following the Winter Stroll. A full list of participating businesses will be available closer to the event.
The Festival of Trees is a celebration of creativity, community spirit, and the many organizations that help make Nashua such a vibrant place to live, work, and gather.
