The Bitterroot Health Foundation has graciously passed the torch of the Festival of Trees to the Daly Mansion! While a few changes are ahead—including a new location—the heart of the event remains the same: bringing our community together to celebrate the season and raise vital funds for local nonprofits.
Mark your calendars for the 2025 Festival of Trees, November 29 – December 1, 2025!
Tree registration opens Tuesday, September 3, 2025. We will be sending registration packets to last year’s participating nonprofits, and details will also be shared on social media and through direct email marketing. Space is limited to just 25 trees, so we encourage you to register early to secure your spot.
- Registration Fee: $100 per tree
- Registration Opens: Tuesday, September 3, 2025
We can’t wait to see your creativity shine once again. Start planning your show-stopping tree now, and be ready to register on September 3 – call or email courtney.hartelius@dalymansion.org

The Daly Mansion Invites you…
After a five-year hiatus, the historic Daly Mansion is thrilled to announce the return of the Haunted Hayride event, scheduled for October 24th and 25th. It is our goal to feature the creativity of the community and would like to invite your business or group to be part of the magic.
This year’s theme is “Gothic Literature”, and we’re seeking imaginative groups to help bring classic tales to life. We would like to present ten chill-inducing vignettes, each inspired by iconic works such as Dracula, Frankenstein, and the eerie tales of Edgar Allan Poe. These scenes will be staged throughout the historic Mansion grounds, offering a spine-tingling experience for guests of all ages.
We would be honored to collaborate with your group/business on one of these vignettes. Your group will choose a Gothic literary piece to present utilizing acting, setup, costuming and storytelling. We can also provide actors for the event if needed. All groups will be recognized in event materials and will be eligible for our new “Best Scene” Award, voted on by guests and announced at the end of the event.
Whether your group/business has seasoned performers or imaginative artists, this is a unique opportunity to engage with literature, history, and community in a truly memorable way.
If your business is interested, please contact operationsmanager@dalymansion.org by October 1st to discuss available themes, logistics, and next steps.
Thank you for considering this invitation. We look forward to showcasing your group/business at the Daly Mansion this October.
Sincerely,
The Daly Mansion
