A holiday walk-through of decorated Christmas trees in the lobby of Greeley's Union Colony Civic Center, open on set days from Nov 21 to Dec 5, 2026. Kids can write letters to Santa, do a scavenger hunt among the trees and make crafts.
Know before you go. The Festival of Trees doesn't list sensory hours or a quiet room. Here's what the city says about the hours, the busy nights and the building rules.

Common questions
What if my child won't look at the schedule or story?
That is common at first. Leave it where the moment happens, point to one picture at a time, and keep it low-pressure. Many kids warm up to it after a few calm tries, in their own time.
Can I make this in Spanish?
Yes. Every tool and this page exist in Spanish, and the printed page comes out in the language you choose. Use the language switch at the top.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no signup, and we don’t keep what you type; anything you save stays on your device. Make it, print it, done.
