Bridge Street is where the annual “Bridge to Wonderland Parade” begins in beautiful downtown Chippewa Falls. This parade features a huge variety of illuminated floats, with Santa on the last float! As you enjoy the parade, savor complimentary hot drinks at businesses with red carpets and all the shops downtown have to offer.
The 2017 theme is “Christmas in Toyland”, with over 50 illuminated and musical floats, walking units, horse-drawn wagons, and more filling the streets with vibrancy and fun. The parade runs along Bridge Street from Spruce Street to Spring Street.
And don’t forget the thousands of holiday lights and decorations just up Highway 124 in Irvine Park & the Irvine Park Zoo to really keep that holiday spirit flowing!
U.S. 53, Highway 29, and Highway 124 (the historic U.S. 53 route) all bring you to Chippewa Falls. While you’re there, check out the Leinenkugels Brewery right by Irvine Park and Zoo, the historic Cook-Rutledge Mansion, the Riverbend Winery, the Heyde Center for the Performing Arts, Brewster Brothers Brewing and the Chippewa River Distillery, terrific downtown shopping, great trails, and more. There’s a lot to enjoy in Chippewa Falls, why not enjoy the parade first to kick it all off?
