Governor Greg Gianforte and First Lady Susan Gianforte are inviting Montanans to the 2025 State Capitol Christmas tree lighting ceremony on Monday, December 1.
“We’re excited to welcome Montanans back to the Capitol to kick off the Christmas season,” Gov. Gianforte said. “Susan and I hope families from across the state will join us, enjoy the music, and view this beautiful tree.”
The ceremony will begin at 5 p.m. in the Capitol Rotunda and will feature a performance by The Carroll College Choirs, directed by Dr. Michael Gray.
This year’s Capitol Christmas tree was harvested from U.S. Forest Service land near Seeley Lake through a Good Neighbor Authority project. The initiative allows the State of Montana and the Forest Service to partner on forest management, wildfire risk reduction, and overall forest health. The tree harvest was completed with support from the Forest Service, the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, the Montana Logging Association, and Bull Creek Forestry.
The Gianfortes encouraged Montanans of all ages to attend and celebrate the holiday season together at the Capitol.
