Tuscaloosa's One Place Tinsel Trail
Est. 2013 

Tinsel Trail is a fundraiser for Tuscaloosa's One Place, A Family Resource Center. Located in the heart of downtown Tuscaloosa, Tinsel Trail is a display of over 200 sponsored and decorated trees. Each tree is sponsored and decorated by a local business, organization, or individual.

Tinsel Trail is located at Government Plaza, in Downtown Tuscaloosa, 618 21st Ave, Tuscaloosa, AL 35401.

Tinsel Trail will be officially open November 24, 2025 and lasts until January 3, 2026.

Tinsel Trail is lit from dusk to dawn but can still be enjoyed during the day.

No, it is free to walk the trail!

Local businesses, organizations, and individual sponsors decorate the trees. Each tree is furnished with electricity and signage listing the sponsor and decorator.

Sponsors/decorators are responsible for removing or disposing ornaments and decorations from Government Plaza unless sponsors choose paid takedown by Tuscaloosa's One Place. Sponsors who choose paid takedown will not receive the ornaments/decorations used.

Tuscaloosa's One Place keeps a list of organizations, typically local schools or nonprofits, who are interested in decorating a tree. The sponsor can choose from the list OR we can choose for you OR you may contact a group of your choosing and register them as the decorator for your tree.

Tuscaloosa's One Place staff and volunteers tend to the trees daily. It is recommended that sponsors check on their trees periodically and perform any maintenance as needed.
