What are some holiday light displays in Wisconsin?
Wisconsinites sure know how to bring the holiday cheer. With these holiday light shows you'll see why. Here are a few holiday light displays to put on your to-do list this Christmas season:
- Oshkosh Celebration of Lights: For over two decades, Oshkosh, Wisconsin, has been lighting the night sky with millions of holiday lights. It is a picture-perfect location right in Menominee Park on the shore of Lake Winnebago. In the 1.2-mile drive-thru display, you'll pass by over 120 trees filled with lights — some over 100 feet tall! Not only is it a fun event for the whole family, but it is also a major source of food donations for the community.
- Christmas Carnival of Lights, Caledonia, WI: About 20 miles from Milwaukee, you'll find this fantastic light show located in Jellystone Park Campground & Resort. With 1.6 miles of trees decorated to the nines and synchronized to music, it is a holly jolly event that is fun for the whole family. You can either drive through the light show or take a golf cart train ride.
- Holiday Light Show at Rotary Botanical Gardens, Janesville, WI: Not only can you explore a fantastic botanical garden, but you can do so while it is all lit up with over one million lights. It takes volunteers about six to eight weeks and 4,000 hours to set up this massive light display each year. Catch the free shuttle in Dawson Field to take a worry-free journey to the Rotary Botanical Gardens.
