Wells Street\, U.S. 18 & Highway 32)\, home to over 100 decorated evergreens along with Santa’s Mailbox presented by Educators Credit Union and Serving Older Adults. Children can drop their letter to Santa in the box through December 13th and receive a personalized response in return. \n“Tinsel Town Express” at Pere Marquette Park (900 N.

Michigan Avenue.) Take a snapshot in Santa’s chair and stroll the stunning lighted displays. Plus\, in December\, Zeidler Union Square will host Jingle Joy Boxes by Milwaukee Food & City Tours! \nRed Arrow Park\, a block east of the Milwaukee River across the street from the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts\, features lights\, decorations\, and a beautiful ice skating rink in the heart of downtown. \nIt all kicks off Thursday\, November 20th at 6:30pm\, where Milwaukee’s ABC affiliate\, WISN 12\, will feature holiday acts on stage in a televised performance. \nThe lights and decorations downtown continue all the way through New Year’s Day 2026\, because we’re all ready for a new year. \nDownload their full guide (.pdf) or keep up on their website for more as we go through the holiday! \n \nOf course\, a TON of road trip routes bring you to downtown Milwaukee: I-94\, I-43\, I-794\, U.S. 18\, and Highways 32 and 145 bring you right to it. Highways 38 (Chase Avenue/6th Street)\, 57 (27th Street/Highland/20th Street)\, 59 (National Avenue)\, and 175 (Appleton and Lisbon Avenues\, Miller Park Way) all bring you close. \n\n\n\n \nBack to StateTrunkTour.com
