Coloradans Will Get to See the Big 2024 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree On Its Way to D.C.
Some Coloradans will be able to get into the spirit of Christmas and feel patriotic at the same time, as our National Christmas tree is going on tour.
The tree will be traveling 4,000 miles from its home in Alaska to Maryland in late October to late November of 2024. Only 11 stops are planned across the country, with two of them being in Colorado.
Get the family, grab some cocoa and have fun.
U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree Coming Through Colorado in 2024
For 54 years, the USDA Forest Service has been providing the "Peoples Tree;" I wonder what they did before that? In any sake, the 54th tree will be coming to the Centennial State in November of 2024.
Not only will Coloradans get to see the tree, but we'll also be able to sign the trailer that its riding on, purchase special ornaments, and get free stickers and pins; maybe we should pick up a special holiday season water bottles for those stickers.
Where Will the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree be in Colorado?
If you wanted to make a fun road trip, you could take one day off of from work and hit both the stops on the Whistlestop tour as it comes through Colorado:
- Sunday, November 10: Grand Junction.
- Cabela's.
- 9 a.m. - 11 a.m.
- Monday, November 11: Loveland.
- The Ranch.
- Time: 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

You have to wonder how Grand Junction and Loveland were chosen as the two stops. Why not Pueblo and Denver? Regardless, these stops will be great ways to welcome in the Christmas season.
