You are responsible to provide all decorations for your tree. Any lights on the trees may be solar, battery powered, or electric (electricity will be provided). The City of Coatesville is not responsible for any damage to or items stolen from decorated trees. You are free to express your creativity and originality, but we ask that your tree represent your business, organization, or family.

Voting
A panel of judges will select the top two tree displays, and a “People’s Choice” vote will determine third place.
Voting can take place onsite at the Pavilion of Trees via the QR codes located at each tree during the voting period. Voting is limited to 1 vote per email address. Sponsors are encouraged to utilize social media, company websites, etc to promote their tree and ask their networks for votes!
