To further our mission – to champion a thriving, innovative, and vibrant urban core – Milwaukee Downtown implements a variety of programs throughout the year to attract visitors, residents, employees and businesses to Downtown. These events and programs serve as a great opportunity for companies and organizations to increase their exposure and support Milwaukee Downtown’s mission.

Downtown Milwaukee is set to sparkle Nov. 14 - Dec. 29 as part of the 15th Annual Milwaukee Holiday Lights Festival. The six-week festival features hundreds of events, thousands of lights and a convenient Jingle Bus tour that connects visitors to all the sights.

Each year, we produce consumer-oriented events such as the Holiday Lights Festival – which draws thousands of visitors throughout the holiday season annually – as well as the popular Downtown Employee Appreciation Week, where more than 20 lunchtime activities are produced throughout Downtown during a weeklong event that celebrate those who work in downtown Milwaukee. Companies can support these events in many ways, including sponsorship, venue donation and more. In turn, sponsors receive increased exposure among Milwaukee Downtown property owners, their companies &/or residents, employees, and visitors.
