Landmark Lighting
Milwaukee Downtown serves as the hub for citywide lighting requests, offering properties the option to participate in lighting initiatives honoring holidays, Milwaukee sports teams, awareness days, festivals and other locally relevant causes. A special thank you to the dozens of properties each month who help illuminate our skyline.
