Milwaukee Christmas Display Now Open

MILWAUKEE, WI— Although there will be no public events this year, the Winter Wonderland tree and lighting displays will be available through early January for families to enjoy.

The Garden District Neighborhood Association continued its Winter Wonderland tree lighting tradition Tuesday, but this year the event went off without public attendees.

The display is at 6th and Norwich in the Farmers’ Market area.

The light display is set up and maintained entirely by volunteers and is sponsored by the
Garden District Neighborhood Association and the Gateway to Milwaukee. The grounds will also
include a lighted 140-foot long open-air tunnel, more than 40,000 lights and over 100 festive holiday displays., according to the City.

“The 25-foot-tall tree of lights is a true one-of-a-kind that takes over an hour to run through its
cascade of light patterns. I thank the Gateway to Milwaukee business association for its generous
donation of this centerpiece of the Winter Wonderland.” Alderman Spiker said. “During this
pandemic, we can all use some extra fun and family time to get us in the holiday spirit, and enjoying this amazing tree and the wonderful lights and other displays is a great way to do just that.”
