Rules & Guidelines
- Tree placement will be determined by the City of Kennesaw. Participants will receive an assigned spot by numbered placement.
- All decorations must be securely attached to the tree. Glass decorations are not permitted.
- Power will not be provided by the City of Kennesaw. Lights are allowed only if your display has its own solar power source.
- No permanent modifications (e.g., cutting, painting, gluing or altering the structure) may be made to the tree, as it is property of the City of Kennesaw.
- Maintenance of the tree and decorations is the responsibility of the participant. The City reserves the right to remove and dispose of any tree or decorations that become damaged, are in disrepair or obstruct pedestrian traffic. Participants are expected to regularly check on their tree to ensure it remains upright.
- The City of Kennesaw is not responsible for any decorations or items that are lost, broken or stolen while on display.
- Signage, if applicable, must be physically (and temporarily) attached to the tree and may be no larger than 18” x 24”. Signs staked in the ground will be removed.
- All trees and decorations must be family-friendly. The City reserves the right to request the immediate removal of any display deemed offensive or inappropriate, which may also disqualify participants from future events.
- All decorations must be removed by the end of the day on January 10, 2027. Please leave the tree in place, as it is the property of the City. Any decorations not removed by the deadline will be disposed of, and failure to comply may result in disqualification from future participation.
