Quick Answer
Jubilee Decor holiday and streetscape displays cost most cities about $12,000 to $100,000 per order, based on real contracts and purchase records Civic IQ tracked from 2020 through 2026. Jubilee prices each project on its own, so the total depends on how big the centerpiece is and how much custom lighting a city wants.
- The largest tracked purchase is the City of Orange Beach, Alabama, at a not-to-exceed $263,673 for a full downtown holiday program (Civic IQ contract records, 2024).
- A single centerpiece Christmas tree typically lands between $12,000 and $45,000, from Bay St. Louis, Mississippi at $12,756 to a 35-foot panel tree in Southaven at $45,173 (Civic IQ records, 2024).
- The cheapest full order on record is the City of Louisville at $2,103.20 for community-events decorations (Civic IQ contract records).
- Jubilee’s tracked buyers cluster in the Southeast, across Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, and Florida.
1. How much does Jubilee Decor cost?
For a typical city or town, a Jubilee Decor holiday order runs about $12,000 to $100,000. The full band in Civic IQ’s records is wider than that. Small banner and ornament packages come in around $2,000, a centerpiece Christmas tree runs $12,000 to $45,000, and a complete downtown streetscape program reaches into the low six figures. Orange Beach, Alabama sits at the top at a not-to-exceed $263,673.
The spread is wide because Jubilee builds each order around what the city picks. A town that wants one lit tree for its square pays a few thousand dollars. A city that wraps its whole downtown in trees, garland, pole-mounted displays, and custom lighting pays far more. What you are buying, and how much of it lights up, drives the number more than anything else.
2. What are governments actually paying for Jubilee Decor?
These are real awarded amounts pulled from council resolutions, consent agendas, and purchase records. Where a record marks an amount as “not to exceed,” it is shown that way. Most are one-time purchases rather than annual subscriptions, because a city usually owns the tree and displays it buys.
| Agency | What they bought | Recorded amount | Year / basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| City of Orange Beach, AL | Full downtown holiday decor program | Not to exceed $263,673 | 2024, approved |
| City of Conway, AR | Ridge lighting + downtown and roundabout decor | $97,147.87 | Approved, Res. R-26-26 |
| City of Savannah, GA | Annual holiday decor purchase (one event) | $76,813.75 | 2024, purchase record |
| City of Irondale, AL | Pole-mount Christmas decorations | Not to exceed $67,900 | Approved |
| City of Southaven, MS | 35-foot panel Christmas tree, LED lights + ornaments | $45,173.14 | 2024, purchase record |
| City of Hattiesburg, MS | Panel Christmas tree for city use | $34,457.00 | 2023, purchase record |
| City of Rainbow City, AL | Christmas ornaments (winning bid) | $26,300.00 | Approved |

3. What drives Jubilee Decor’s price up or down?
- Scope of the program. A single tree is one line item. A whole downtown is many. Bay St. Louis, Mississippi paid $12,756 for one city tree, while Orange Beach, Alabama approved up to $263,673 for a full program. That is a roughly $250,000 gap driven by scope alone.
- Tree size. Height and panel count move the price fast. Byram’s 19-foot panel tree ran $22,106 with wreaths, and Southaven’s 35-foot panel tree hit $45,173 with LED lights and ornaments. Taller centerpiece, bigger invoice.
- Custom lighting and photo-op displays. Lit features carry a premium. DeFuniak Springs, Florida bought a walk-in ornament photo op with LED lights for $12,142 and a lit steel sleigh for $6,076, on top of ordinary ornaments that cost a few dollars each.
- Banners versus centerpieces. Decorative banners are the cheap way in. Louisville’s community-events package was $2,103, and several banner orders sit in the low four figures, well under what any lit tree costs.
- How it is bought. Some cities award a bid, some approve a quote on the consent agenda, and Madison, Mississippi went further and named Jubilee a sole-source vendor. A competitive bid can trim the number, but sole-source and repeat orders trade a lower price for speed.
4. How does Jubilee Decor’s pricing compare?
Municipal holiday decor is a crowded field, and Civic IQ tracks several vendors that cities buy from. The useful contrast is how each vendor structures the deal. Here is what the records show for a few common alternatives.
| Vendor | Recorded government range | How it sells |
|---|---|---|
| Jubilee Decor | About $2,100 to $263,673 per order | Outright purchase of trees and displays |
| Christmas Decor Systems (HAP Industries) | About $2,360/yr up to $36,050/yr | Annual lease and install, renewed each year |
| Temple Display Ltd | About $380 to $17,000 per order | Outright purchase, smaller catalog orders |
| Downtown Decorations Inc | Frequent orders around $700 to $2,000 | Outright purchase, high volume of small orders |

The big split is lease versus buy. Christmas Decor Systems tends to install and maintain a display for an annual fee, such as the $36,050 a year Allen Park, Michigan pays on a three-year deal. Jubilee sells the tree outright, so a city like Southaven owns its $45,173 centerpiece and reuses it. Temple Display and Downtown Decorations show up mostly in smaller catalog orders. If your city wants to own a large custom centerpiece, Jubilee’s numbers fit that model. If you would rather someone else store and hang the decor every year, the lease vendors are worth a quote.
5. Is Jubilee Decor worth the price?
Verdict: for a Southeastern city or town buying a centerpiece tree or a full downtown program it intends to own and reuse, Jubilee Decor is priced in line with the municipal decor market.
The strongest evidence is repeat business. Savannah, Georgia bought from Jubilee across 2022, 2023, and 2024, with tracked purchases totaling more than $218,000. DeFuniak Springs, Florida and its airport authority placed dozens of orders from 2021 through 2024, adding up to roughly $154,000 between them. Hattiesburg, Mississippi came back three years running for city trees and displays. When a vendor keeps the same city year after year, the decor is holding up and the service is landing.
One more signal stands out. Madison, Mississippi approved Jubilee as a sole-source vendor, which means the council decided no competitive bid was needed to justify the choice. That is a strong vote of confidence, though it also removes the price pressure a bid creates.

6. FAQ
Does Jubilee Decor publish pricing?
No. Jubilee Decor does not post a public price list, and every order is a per-project quote based on the displays a city buys and how much custom lighting is involved. Civic IQ’s records fill that gap, showing real awarded amounts that run from about $2,100 for a small package to $263,673 for a full downtown program. Coverage from Government Technology tracks how cities budget for this kind of civic spending.
What is the cheapest Jubilee Decor government order on record?
The cheapest full contract in Civic IQ’s records is the City of Louisville at $2,103.20 for community-events decorations, approved in a council meeting. Individual catalog lines go lower still, such as a $55.20 pack of shatterproof ornaments bought by the DeFuniak Springs Airport Authority in Florida in 2023.
Does Jubilee Decor offer municipal discounts?
Records do not show a published municipal discount. What they show is loyalty: the City of Madison, Mississippi approved Jubilee as a sole-source vendor, and cities like Savannah and Hattiesburg buy year after year. Buying through a cooperative purchasing contract is the more reliable way to save on procurement time. For procurement standards, see NIGP, the Institute for Public Procurement, the National Association of State Procurement Officials, and budgeting resources from the National League of Cities.
