What are some holiday traditions in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin gets pretty merry for the holidays. So, of course, there are plenty of holiday traditions you can look forward to each year. Here are a few holiday traditions in Wisconsin you might want to put on your calendar:
- North Pole Christmas Village, Chilton, WI: "If you build it, they will come." This beautiful Christmas village is like the "Field of Dreams" for holiday celebrations. The North Pole Christmas Village is regarded as Wisconsin's largest indoor walk-thru village. You'll be blown away by the detailed scenes, holiday lights, and special events and activities. It is like stepping into a Christmas fairy tale.
- Sister Bay’s Christkindlmarkt: This relatively new tradition in Wisconsin's Door County is pretty special. The Christkindlmarkt originated in Germany in 1298 and has been adopted in many places in the US and Abroad. Enjoy hand-crafted goods, sweet treats, festive music, and even trolly rides. Be sure to save a slice of handmade fruitcake for us.
- Canadian Pacific Holiday Train: This fantastic tradition is both super festive for the holidays and a great way to give others a bountiful Christmas. It is known as "North America’s longest rolling food bank" because it is a combination of live music, light shows, and a food donation drive. Each year it travels throughout Wisconsin, the U.S., and Canada bringing holiday cheer and good food to people all across the country. Since its beginning in 1999, it has raised more than $22.5 million and collected 5 million pounds of food!
Along with the typical light shows and visits with Santa, Wisconsin has some pretty strange holiday traditions. How many of these weird and wacky Christmas traditions do you celebrate? We bet there are some you do, too.
