Michigan to Harvest 60-Foot Spruce for State Capitol Tree

Communities and businesses are preparing for the 2026 Christmas season with official tree traditions, local tree sales and family events. Michigan plans to harvest a 60-foot spruce donated by the Riccio family and deliver it to the State Capitol in Lansing. Guides in Grays Harbor and Central Virginia list cut-your-own farms and retail lots, while Grays Harbor also outlines permits and restrictions for cutting trees in a national forest. Western North Carolina is planning holiday parades and tree-lighting celebrations, and a Central Virginia guide lists Santa appearances and related events, with some schedules still awaiting updates.
