Is the 100-foot tree real?
According to the City of Delray Beach, one of the most common questions they receive is, “Is the tree actually real?”
While it may not have originated from nature itself, the effort and dedication put into constructing it are undeniably real.

Therefore, in response to whether the tree is real or not, the answer is yes, it is indeed real.
I LOVE the tree, but WHY October?
Ever hear the phrase “Rome wasn’t built in a day”? The same can be said about Santa’s village.
The construction of the tree structure, both the interior and exterior of the houses within the tree, usually takes approximately 10 to 14 days. After that stage is finished, our dedicated volunteers and staff members will ensure that every nook and cranny inside the tree and each of its six houses are adorned with delightful festive decorations down to the tiniest details. Although it may appear finished from an outsider’s perspective, perfecting all those intricate interior elements typically requires about a month’s worth of meticulous work.
How is the 100-foot tree made?
The frame of the tree is made up of aluminum sections. When these sections are assembled, they form rings, with each ring being smaller than the previous one. After completing each ring, they are carefully lifted by a crane and stacked on top of each other to create the shape of a tree. And naturally, the star is placed as the final touch.
