City Sidewalks Tree Festival 2025

Each year, the North Kansas City Business Council, the City of North Kansas City, local businesses, organizations, and clubs from North Kansas City High School help transform the area into a winter wonderland, featuring uniquely decorated trees along Armour Road and Swift Avenue.

Be part of the fun by sponsoring and decorating a tree for the City Sidewalks Tree Festival! Show off your organization's holiday spirit and creativity while spreading some seasonal cheer! Registration will open in October. Registration ends Friday, Nov. 14.

Trees will be installed about one week after registration closes, depending on when we receive our shipment, with decorating beginning mid- to late November. A deadline will be established for tree decorating that will likely be early in the first week of December.

Winners are expected to be announced on Wednesday, Dec. 3, at the North Kansas City Business Council's Holiday Magic Dinner & Auction at Harrah's Casino and Hotel.

Decorating Categories include three possible themes (choose one):

• A theme for 2025 to be announced
• Traditional themed
• Business themed

Need help decorating?

North Kansas City High School "Elves" will be available on a limited, first-come, first-served basis to decorate trees for those who wish to participate but are unable to decorate a tree themselves. There is a $50 fee for the use of NKCHS elves, with proceeds going to the decorating clubs.

Please note: The "Elves" may choose to decorate your tree to reflect their high school club or align with the 2025 theme. All trees decorated by the North Kansas City High School "Elves" will compete against one another to see which club best captures the holiday spirit. The winning team of "Elves" will receive a $100 check from the North Kansas City Business Council to support the club!
