Capitol Christmas Tree 2025

For the first time, the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree is coming from Nevada! The Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest is honored to bring the tree from the Silver State to the West Lawn of the United States Capitol building this fall, and we want all Nevadans to take part in this historic event. Make an ornament, attend an event, or help give the tree a true Nevada sendoff as it makes its way across the country! This is a longstanding partnership with Society of American Foresters; keep up with the latest news and events on the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree homepage.

Starry Skies to Neon Lights: Spirit of the Silver State

We're packing up thousands of ornaments and dozens of tree skirts to take with us to Washington, D.C. this holiday season, with plenty of stops along the way! See the full whistlestop-tour schedule here: https://www.fs.usda.gov/r04/humboldt-toiyabe/newsroom/releases/humboldt…

Thanks to the spirit and generosity of Nevadans all over the state, we have exceeded our goal of 10,000 ornaments to decorate the 2025 Capitol Christmas tree!
