Milwaukee's downtown shines brightly
through Jan. 1 as more than 500,000 lights
and dozens of animated displays are aglow
for the 22nd annual Milwaukee Holiday
Lights Festival.
The annual display of lights, coordinated by
Milwaukee Downtown, BID #21, transforms
three downtown parks into winter wonderland
scenes. They are Community Spirit Park at
Cathedral Square Park; Tinsel Town Express
at Pere Marquette Park, and Polar Plaza pow-
ered by We Energies at Zeidler Union Square.
Sparkling lights illuminate three downtown
thoroughfares, including an 18-block stretch
along Wisconsin Avenue.
"The Milwaukee Holiday Lights Festival will
continue to deliver the joy of the holiday sea-
son while keeping our residents and visitors
safe," says Beth Weirick, CEO of Milwaukee
Downtown, BID #21.
She continues, "Though we have pivoted
slightly from the events locals have come
to know and love, this year's virtual and
'snowcially distanced' version will carry on the
tradition of making spirits bright."
