Canadian Pacific Holiday Train Coming To Milwaukee Suburbs

STURTEVANT, WI — The holiday season is about to get merry, musical and bright, when the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train stops later this month in the Milwaukee suburbs.

The train is back on the rails for its first cross-continent tour since 2019, generating money, donations and awareness for food banks in local communities.

“We are excited to be back out on the rails and in our communities, taking these two beautiful trains across our network and sharing the joy that comes with gathering in the spirit of giving,” said Keith Creel, Canadian Pacific’s president and CEO, in a news release.

The tour will feature 168 live shows, with performers such as Alan Doyle, Tenille Townes, Mackenzie Porter and Lindsay Ell. It will make the following stops in the Milwaukee area:

• Sturtevant: 7 p.m., Dec. 8, Amtrak Depot, 9900 E. Exploration Court
• Caledonia: 8:15 p.m. Dec. 8, 11402 County Road G
• Wauwatosa: 4:15 p.m. Dec. 9, Harwood Avenue railway crossing
• Hartland: 5:45 p.m. Dec. 9, Cottonwood Avenue railway crossing
• Oconomowoc: 6:45 p.m. Dec. 9, Silver Lake Street railway crossing

Shows are free to attend, but eventgoers are asked to bring a cash or nonperishable food donation if they're able. Local food shelves will set up collection stations at each event.

Since the Holiday Train program launched in 1999, it's raised more than $21 million and collected 5 million pounds of food for community food banks across North America.
