The Festival of Trees is a family-friendly holiday event open to the public that raises funds to support Cimarron Middle School. Guests can purchase tickets to enter drawings for beautifully decorated trees and a variety of prizes. Winners are selected through a drawing at the end of the event. Enjoy light snacks, music, and festive activities in the commons—including our Ugly Sweater Contest!
Not necessarily, but we recommend allowing enough time to collect and label your tickets (pre-ordered tickets can include pre-printed name labels), and enter them into your desired prize boxes before 10:45 a.m. Drawings will begin at 11:00 a.m.
It’s best to stay for the drawing so you can claim your prize in person, but if you’re unable to, you may designate someone to collect it on your behalf. This will be done on the honor system, as we are unable to verify designees. Please note that all prizes must be picked up immediately after the event.
Tickets are used to enter the prize drawings. After labeling each ticket with your name, simply drop one or more into the box next to the tree or prize you’d like to win.
Each ticket must include your first and last name so we can identify winners during the drawings. If you pre-order tickets, you’ll have the option to receive pre-printed name labels to make this process faster and easier.
You can do either! Pre-ordering helps you skip the purchase line, speeds up check-in, and allows you to label tickets more quickly. Tickets will also be available for purchase at the door, though lines may be longer. You can always purchase additional tickets on-site if needed.
Pre-ordering offers discounted admission, the option for pre-printed name labels, and a smoother check-in process. Your pre-ordered tickets will be waiting for you at will call, so you can jump right into the fun!
Pre-orders will be accepted through December 5th.
Pre-ordered tickets can be picked up on the day of the event at the will call desk, located just inside the entrance
