Thank you for visiting! Steppin' Up's A Festival of Trees is an event brought to you by the Dallas Chamber and Visitor Center and the Dallas Arts Association. This event showcases some of the great Non-Profits we have in our area. These Non-Profits work tirelessly all year long to assist our community in a variety of ways.

To show appreciation for these organizations, local businesses have stepped up to sponsor these organizations by assisting them in decorating the trees you'll see in local business shop windows around Dallas. Please take the time to wonder around and view the trees and learn about these amazing Non-Profits and take in the Christmas atmosphere the Dallas downtown has to offer.

Each Non-Profit is also represented by an auction item (or 2 or 5....) that the community can bid on and win, just in time for Christmas! The auction will run for 12 days (see what we did there.... ) and 100% of the proceeds of the auction item(s) will go to the Non-Profit attached to it. You can also click on the link in the item description to be directed to the Non-Profit's website to donate directly to them if you'd like.

The auction is divided into three categories: Merchandise, Food & Beverage & Experience. The end times will be staggered by 30 minutes beginning at 8 p.m. with the final ending time at 9 p.m.

Lastly, donations can also be made to the Christmas Town fund on the main page by clicking on the Christmas Town Fund button.

Thank you again and may the joy of the season wrap around you and yours,

Dallas Area Chamber and Visitor Center and the Dallas Arts Association
