The 2026 Holiday Ornament has arrived and is now available to order along with 18″ fresh Fir wreaths. They are perfect for holiday decorating and all proceeds benefit the trail.

The ornament is laser engraved wood that has been crafted by our friend Ben Guthrie who has made them every year. This year’s ornament features a whimsical look at the famous “Big Kids” (or Blue Kids as some call them) which are located at the far west end of the trail near the N. Parkway overpass bridge heading toward Crosstown Concourse. The Big Kids were installed in 2011 by art students from Rhodes College and are a favorite of everyone on the trail.

This year’s ornament is priced at $25. It is available for pickup (details below) or for delivery (with an extra charge).

We are also selling fresh Fir wreaths this year from our friends at Urban Earth. They are 18″ diameter on a firm wire frame which is easy to hang.

This year’s wreath is priced at $40. It is available for pickup only (details below).

Pickup Event

Pickup will be at the VECA Welcome Center (1680 Jackson Ave.) on Sunday, December 6, 3-5pm. We’ll have items to decorate the wreaths with plus snacks and hot chocolate for anyone who wants to hang out to decorate them.

Remember – this year’s ornament and wreath will only be available for pre-order until November 28, 2026. Thank you for supporting the trail and Happy Holidays!
