Thank you for a wonderful record season – 462,529 tickets sold! Congratulations to our winners!

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 Washington, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, California, and Canada.  The event features the raffle of themed and beautifully decorated trees located at the Historic Davenport Hotel (DAV) and River Park Square (RPS).

The celebration, which began in 1983, is the largest of our annual fundraisers. This highly anticipated event is the culmination of our tireless volunteers’ 11 months of planning and efforts.

Father Christmas and trees will be on display at The DAV and RPS.  $1 raffle tickets are available for purchase & deposit at both locations, during hours of business operations.

Public ticket drawing ceremonies are held at each venue on the final day.
