The White House is looking for volunteers to help decorate and perform during the 2026 Christmas season. People from all states and territories can apply to help turn the building into a holiday display.
Volunteer decorators must be at least 18 years old and apply by August 28, 2026. Those who are chosen will be notified by October 2 and will work during the week of Thanksgiving to set up the decorations.
Musical groups like school bands and choirs can also apply to perform during holiday events in December. This is a chance for local entertainers to showcase their talents at the White House.
Anyone selected to help must pay for their own travel, hotel, and food. The government does not cover these costs for the volunteers, so participants are responsible for all personal expenses.
