Debrecen is looking for its Christmas tree: residents invited to make offers

The Municipality of Debrecen is once again inviting residents to offer a tree to serve as the city’s Christmas tree. In keeping with tradition, a donated fir tree decorates the city’s festive center every year in Kossuth Square, in front of the Great Reformed Church.

The city is looking for owners of fir trees that are at least 15 meters tall and have a well-proportioned crown who would be willing to donate their tree for this purpose. Offers are welcome from all parts of Debrecen.

The municipality will arrange for the tree to be cut down and safely transported. The trees offered will also be inspected in person by specialists. An important consideration is that the tree must be safely accessible to the vehicles needed for cutting and transportation.

Offers can be submitted until October 31, 2026, by email to [email protected].

Applicants are asked to provide the following information:

• the exact address of the tree, along with the name and contact details of the owner;
• the approximate height of the fir tree and several photographs;
• a short personal story connected to the tree.
