Capital Christmas Tree Visits McKenzie River

Fun Event for the whole family!

Sunday, Nov. 11

Tokatee Golf Club, 54947 McKenzie Hwy, McKenzie Bridge, OR 97413

10:30 – 11:30 a.m.

The Willamette National Forest, in partnership with nonprofit Choose Outdoors and Travel Oregon, will bring the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree from Oregon to Washington, D.C. for the 2018 holiday, by way of cross-country tour involving more than 25 communities along the way. The 2018 tour announcement is appropriately timed to celebrate the 50^th Anniversary of the National Trails Systems Act, one of the inspirations for the 2018 theme of “Find Your Trail”.

The tree will follow a more than 3,000-mile journey that commemorates the second inspiration – 175th anniversary of the Oregon Trail, following a reverse path of the trail. A series of festive events will be hosted by local communities at museums, main streets, city halls, state capitols, markets, retailers, high schools, and even a parade. Attendees will have the chance to sign banners on the sides of the truck to wish the tree well, learn more about the Willamette National Forest and the great state of Oregon, purchase U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree merchandise and more. We hope you’ll visit as in one of these communities in Oregon or across the country!
