No matter your age, interests or budget, you’ll find something fun to do in St. Louis this weekend.
The Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest will bring the 2025 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree from Nevada to the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol Building this holiday season. The forest, along with nonprofit partner Society of American Foresters, local communities, and sponsors, is planning a series of special events along the way.
The tree, named “Silver Belle,” is a 53-foot red fir that will be harvested from the Carson Ranger District. Festivities will be held at communities along the route, and well-wishers can view and take pictures with the tree, sign the banner, buy official U.S. Capitol Christmas tree merchandise, and learn more about Nevada’s national forest as we celebrate the “Spirit of the Silver State.”
The U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree initiative is a 55-year tradition in which one of America’s 154 national forests provides a tree for the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol for the holiday season. The project is made possible with support from partners including nonprofits Society of American Foresters and Sierra Forever, along with contributions from companies and volunteers across America.
Festivities are free and open to the public.
