The City of Chicago announced Wednesday that it’s accepting nominations for the Millennium Park Christmas tree.
The city is accepting nominations for its official Christmas tree until Oct. 12, according to a statement from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events.
All nominations must be located less than 50 miles from the Loop, at least 45 feet tall and preferably a Norway spruce or fig tree. Pine trees are ineligible because they aren't sturdy enough, DCASE said. Submissions must include the family’s name, address, phone number and email address, DCASE said. At least two photographs must be included too, one of the tree from afar and one up close. A brief explanation on why the tree should be Chicago’s official tree and any additional information that makes the tree special should be mentioned. Nominations must be submitted via email at
