Union Depot Seeking 2024 ‘Hub for the Holidays’ Tree

It feels like Christmas in July as Union Depot launches its search for the next Hub for the Holidays tree. Organizers are seeking a 50’-70’ evergreen to anchor the venue’s Hub for the Holidays event series, which will include the Holiday Tree Lighting celebration on Saturday, Dec. 7.

Ramsey County residents are encouraged to keep an eye out for an overgrown tree that would make a good candidate for the 2024 holiday tree. If the tree is selected, there will be no cost for its removal or to grind down its stump. The family of the tree owner will also be able to participate in the Holiday Tree Lighting celebration.

The key requirements for a tree to be considered are that it must be located within Ramsey County, be an evergreen tree, have overgrown its location or have other reasons for removal and be in good, condition as the tree will be viewed from 360°–no bare spots or missing branches, please.

Those who would like to donate a tree for the event should email their address and a photo of the tree to [email protected] or call 651-202-2700. You can also submit via the Union Depot website. The tree submission period will last until Friday, September 20, 2024. The Hub for the Holidays event schedule will also be announced around this date.
