Public Art with a Holiday Twist

Discover the Ornament Trail along Wisconsin Avenue and in nearby neighborhoods from November 19 through January 17. Coordinated by Milwaukee Downtown, BID #21 and the Downtown Placemaking Task Force, the installation features 20 larger-than-life ornaments near restaurants, hotels, and performing arts venues. Each ornament is hand-painted with a theme chosen and illustrated by a locally or nationally renowned artist with Milwaukee ties.

Check back soon for this year’s Ornament Trail activity guide, featuring the route and discounts from nearby businesses.
