🎄 Deck the Halls with Ashland Cheer! The Glen Allen Cultural Arts Center is getting into the holiday spirit with a special tree dedicated to none other than the Center of the Universe—Ashland! We’re calling on all our elves in the community to help trim the Ashland tree by donating your one-of-a-kind, custom-designed ornaments.

Whether you want to jingle up your business, celebrate your family, pay homage to a loved one, or simply craft something that sparkles with Ashland pride, your ornament will help make this holiday display truly magical.

🎁 How to Drop Off Your Ornaments:
Where: Drop your creations off at the Ashland Town Hall lobby (121 Thompson St, Ashland, VA 23005). Just look for the drop-off box—we’ve got the perfect spot for your bauble!

When: Ornaments can be dropped off now through the Light Up the Tracks Celebration on November 23 from 5-8 PM at the Downtown Ashland Association's booth.

🕯️ Make your ornament part of Ashland’s holiday story! Let’s see how bright we can shine together.

Then, join us on Monday, November 25 at 1 PM at the Glen Allen Cultural Arts Center (2880 Mountain Rd, Glen Allen, VA 23060) for the official Ashland Tree Decorating Party. Stick around afterward as we film a video to share our holiday cheer with the press!

✨ Can’t wait to see the finished masterpiece? Starting Sunday, December 8, the Ashland Tree will be on display at the Glen Allen Cultural Arts Center for everyone to admire throughout the holiday season. It’ll be a sight to behold—like Ashland itself, brimming with charm and sparkle!
