Downtown Cary Gifting Tree Voting Ends Sunday

Cary, NC — Since the first week of December, dozens of beautifully decorated trees have lined Academy Street as part of the 10th Annual Cary Gifting Tree Project.

Each tree is decorated by a different business, organization or local family, all of whom bring fun themes, colors and tree toppers to life each year. But of course, where’s the fun without a little friendly competition? At each tree, there are signs noting who decorated them and a QR code which, by using your phone camera, can take you directly to a voting page.

The winner selected as having this year’s best tree, by the popular choice of the public, will win a donation to a nonprofit group of their choosing.

Cast Your Vote Online

If you already know your favorite tree designer, you can vote now on The Town of Cary website.

Rules are simple — it is one vote per person and the voting window closes at 11:59 PM this Sunday, December 19, 2021. Though voting finishes up this Sunday, the trees will remain on display at least through January 1, 2022.
