FASHIONS FOR EVERGREENS 2023

Celebrate the Season, Assist Neighbors in Need and Build a Better Community

Fashions for Evergreens is free and open to the public from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day!

United Way of Roanoke Valley and The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center are pleased to announce the return of our region’s timeless holiday tradition, Fashions for Evergreens, to kick-off the holiday season.

The highly-anticipated, competitive tree-decorating contest is a beloved event for area families who venture to the Hotel Roanoke each year to have family portraits taken while voting with their dollars for the best-dressed tree. The Fashions for Evergreens contest runs through New Year’s Day, when the winning tree is selected through dollar vote counts and a professional panel of judges.

Fashions For Evergreens is free and open to the public. The event runs from Thanksgiving morning to New Year's Day! While the hotel is a 24 hour facility and trees may be visited at any time, the hotel suggests the best hours to view the display is 8 a.m. - 9 p.m.

"We are excited to welcome back generations of Roanoke Valley residents and visitors throughout the state, country and world to visit the hotel and experience the holiday season,” said Brian Wells, general manager for The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center. “Not only is it an opportunity to show off the hotel and spread holiday cheer, this important fundraiser is a huge benefit to our community of non-profit organizations.”

This year, more than 25 organizations and businesses will compete for the coveted People’s Choice award through voting following a self-guided tour.

“Visitors to the trees, either in-person or online, may only be donating a few dollars, but this event truly helps individuals and families in the Roanoke Valley. Donations support programs that assist people right here in our own communities, with resources that meet their needs, including access to affordable low, or even no-cost childcare solutions. Ultimately, getting folks back to work will ensure our economy is strong,” said Alisha Childress, Vice President of Resource Development at United Way of Roanoke Valley.
