Milwaukee Holiday Lights Festival 2012

PARK DECOR

SIGHTS TO SEE
Besides hundreds of events, Downtown Milwaukee shines bright with stunning park and street decor. Here are a few of the highlights.

Simply Chande-luring!
Wisconsin Avenue – 10th Street to Prospect Avenue & Mason Street
Making a huge splash this season are the new chandeliers that hang above 17 Wisconsin Avenue intersections. Glistening both day and night, these downtown fixtures are an elegant accent to activities and events.

“Community Spirit Park”
Cathedral Square Park
Presented by Madison Medical Affiliates & Milwaukee County Parks
Returning for its ninth year, “Community Spirit Park” remains a classroom favorite. Over 60 schools throughout metro Milwaukee transform the park with weather-resistant ornaments. Pay close attention! Each school’s tree is decorated with a unique theme or wish for the season.
