Festive Forest

Calling all local organizations, businesses and families! Does your tree have what it takes to win the title of Best Holiday Tree in Livonia? The contest features two locations (Festive Forest at Greenmead Historical Park and Deck The Rec at the Kirksey Recreation Center). Spots are sold out at The Rec, but you can still get in on the contest by joining our Festive Forest with an outdoor tree that will be showcased throughout December in the center of the Night of Lights eight-day/three-weekend event and all of the other festivities at Greenmead during the holiday season.

We provide the extension cords and you provide the tree to gain this great exposure to thousands of people for FREE. The public will choose the winner! Sign up for this great opportunity today. Space is limited!

#RecreatingTheRec

The Main Gyms will close in 2025 once the new West Gym is complete. The full project is expected to be completed in December 2025. You can visit LivoniaBuilt.org to see the specific timeline for each phase. For more details, check out our Frequently Asked Questions.
