A Holiday Tradition 34 Years in the Making
For more than three decades, the Festival of Trees Auction has helped kick off the holiday season in Muskingum County, bringing together local businesses, organizations, and community members for a day of giving, connection, and holiday spirit.
On Friday, December 4, 2026, the tradition continues at the Zanesville-Muskingum County Welcome Center. From 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., stop in, tune in live on AM1240, and bid on unique items generously donated by businesses and organizations throughout our community.
After 34 years, Festival of Trees is about more than the items on the auction block. It is a celebration of the businesses and people who support our community and have made this tradition possible year after year.
Be Part of the Tradition
We would love to have your business or organization be part of this year’s Festival of Trees! Donate a gift card, product, service, tickets, experience, or creative auction item that showcases your business and gives our community something fun to bid on.
Each participating business receives 15 minutes of recognition during the live AM1240 auction, along with additional exposure through WHIZNews.com, ZMChamber.com, and Chamber social media.
Most importantly, your participation supports the Zanesville-Muskingum County Chamber of Commerce and helps us continue our work serving and strengthening the local business community.
