About Christmas Tree Elegance

Spokane Symphony Associates hosts this annual 13-day event, from the Tuesday following Thanksgiving into December. This regional event attracts more than 100,000 attendees from around the region. The event features a raffle of themed and beautifully decorated trees, located at the Historic Davenport Hotel and River Park Square.

The celebration, which began in 1983, is the largest of our annual fundraisers. This highly anticipated event is produced by our tireless volunteers’ 11 months of planning and efforts. 2024 was our most significant year, with 526,331 raffle tickets sold! We are hopeful that number will continue to grow each year.

Our continued success is largely due to the generous support of the donors to our trees and events.
