2022 Milwaukee Holiday Lights Festival

On November 17, Milwaukee Downtown kicked off the 24th Annual Holiday Lights Festival, dazzling downtown’s parks and streets with more than a half-a-million lights. Through January 1, 2023, you can join in on the festivities with dining, shopping, performances and more. View the complete festival guide here.

Be sure to see the wonderous displays in Westown including “Santa’s Celebration Square” at Zeidler Union Square, “Christmas Chalet” at Pere Marquette Park, the twinkling chandeliers along West Wisconisn Avenue and the City of Milwaukee Christmas Tree in the Deer District. You can visit these locations on your own, or take a 40-minute narrated tour on the Jingle Bus which departs from The Avenue.
