The dazzle and color of holiday lights are a beloved tradition across Wisconsin.

The holiday light show features a 140-foot holiday tree and Santa on site each day until Christmas Eve to wave to guests. Visitors can drive, walk or take a carriage ride through the festive riverfront park. Admission is free but donations are appreciate and go towards supporting local food pantries and non-profits.
