2. SEE THE LIGHTS

Milwaukee Holiday Lights Festival is celebrating its 20^th year! You and your family can take a 40-minute Jingle Bus ride around downtown Milwaukee and see the most decorated areas. These buses run Thursday-Sunday evenings from 6-8:20 p.m. through December 30.

3. VISIT THE MUSEUM

Every year, Milwaukee Public Museum decorates the Streets of Old Milwaukee and turns the exhibit into a holiday wonderland. Storefronts are updated and adorned with traditional seasonal flair—wreaths, ribbons, garland, holly, bell pulls, and more!

Other holiday-themed MPM events can also be found on their website.
