Sometimes a simple outdoor holiday experience can be especially rewarding. Every winter in Germantown, a community park is transformed by residents into a holiday wonderland. Decorated Christmas trees line the park’s walkways, providing a festive place for a stroll with someone special. Here’s why The Tannenbaum Trail is one of Wisconsin’s prettiest holiday walks.
Germantown is a village in Washington County with about 20,000 people. It was settled by German immigrants in the 1840s, making it the oldest community in the county.
The village is a great day trip destination for much of southeast Wisconsin. It’s only about a half-hour drive from downtown Milwaukee, and it's well worth the journey.
If you come from the city, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into another world. It’s a charming community that kicks off the holiday season early every year with a lively community parade and other festive holiday events, like a 5k run and a visit from Santa.
The trail is a beautiful spectacle that’s created each year by the people of Germantown. The display includes 50 trees that were decorated by businesses, organizations, and local families.
The Tannenbaum Trail display is open nightly through the holiday season. See the hours and dates of the event and learn more about seasonal events in Germantown on the Germantown Area Chamber of Commerce website. There’s a lot of holiday beauty to discover in Wisconsin’s charming small towns. Here’s where to find some of the prettiest Christmas towns.
