For those who want a chance to take home an entire tree and its prize package, $1 raffle tickets are available for purchase. It’s one of the most exciting parts of the event and a tradition that has been bringing the community together for decades.

A few important details:

• Ticket buyers must be at least 18 years old.
• Ticket sales end early on the final day, so visitors are encouraged to purchase ahead of time.
• Public drawings take place on December 14 at both the Davenport and River Park Square.
• Winners do not need to be present to claim their prize.

All proceeds support the Spokane Symphony, making every ticket purchased a contribution to the arts and culture of the region.

Christmas Tree Elegance is more than a display. It is a tradition that has built loyalty and excitement for more than four decades. With visitors traveling from across Washington, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, California, and Canada, the event has become one of Spokane’s most recognizable and meaningful holiday celebrations.
