About the application

Businesses, organizations and individuals are invited to help “light up” Johns Creek City Hall by decorating an artificial tree to be enjoyed by City Hall visitors during the Holiday season! Merchants, local groups, neighborhoods, or families are encouraged to participate by selecting a theme to promote their business or organization – or just to celebrate the season!
 
The Johns Creek Recreation and Parks Department is accepting applications for the Holiday Tree Decorating Contest until Nov.21.
 
The entry fee is $25 if bringing your own tree or $100 if one is provided by the City.  The number of City-provided trees is limited.
 
Trees will be outside for the duration of the event. Trees can be pre decorated and dropped off or decorated at City Hall the day of. All trees need to be completed and set up by 3:30 the day of the event. Have fun with your theme that fits your business/organization! Are you a dentist office? How about toothbrush ornaments and floss garland? Are you a pet adoption agency? What about pictures of all adoptable fur-babies? Have FUN and be CREATIVE!
 
After the Holly Jolly Block Party event, your tree will stay up at City Hall through the end of December of the public to see and enjoy!
