We’re celebrating a quarter century of lighting up the night for the holiday season! Join us as we illuminate more than a half million brilliant bulbs to kick off the 25th annual Milwaukee Holiday Lights Festival.
Pre-show fun begins at 5:30pm with Kid Boogie Down, followed by an assortment of holiday acts. The main show gets underway at 6:30pm with a star-studded cast, including DJ LoLo, Kinsella Irish Dance, UWM's a cappella group Public Hearing, Jenny Thiel, Christopher's Project, Donna Woodall, Nate Ramos & Friends, plus Santa & Mrs. Claus.
Fireworks will top off the night shortly before 7pm. Free Jingle Bus rides will also operate after the show, with limited capacity between 7pm and 9pm.
