The City of DeLand and MainStreet DeLand Association are teaming up for the Wreaths on Woodland initiative to help raise funds for holiday festivities in the downtown corridor.

Every year, the city displays 47 holiday wreaths along Woodland Boulevard, West New York Avenue and East Indiana Avenue. Wreath sponsors will get their name on a special ribbon placed on one of the 47 wreaths in Downtown DeLand. This year’s sponsors will also receive a commemorative item in recognition of their donation to the program.

Sponsorship of one wreath costs $500.

“This is an opportunity for small business owners, families and community members to help make the holidays truly special in the City of DeLand,” said Mayor Chris Cloudman.

Funds raised will go to MainStreet DeLand Association and be used to help fund the newly envisioned, “Light Up DeLand” festival, which aims to kick off the holiday season and bring the city’s Christmas tree lighting to West Indiana Avenue in front of the historic Volusia County Court House. Funds will also go toward future holiday decorations as part of the city’s Winter Wonder DeLand program.
