Festival of Trees 2026

Festival of Trees is fast approaching!  This year, Freeport Public Library is co-sponsoring the event with The Foundation for Northwest Illinois.  

Signing up for a tree—Organizations are encouraged to contact Youth Librarian, Amanda Meyers, to inquirey about decorating a tree as there are a limited number of trees available. 

Tree Decorating—Organizations may come in Wednesday, November 18-Wednesday, November 25 to decorate their trees.  Each organization will have an assigned tree to decorate.  Signs will be in front of each tree, so you'll know who each belong to.  

Tree Voting—The public can vote for their favorite tree in-person at the Library, just like pumpkins! Voting will be open Monday, November 30-Saturday, December 19.  Limited to one vote per person, per day.
