Tree Lighting, Lantern Stroll, & Walk of Lights Lighting Ceremony
Please join the Waukesha Downtown Business Association, the City of Waukesha Chamber of Commerce,
and the City of Waukesha in kicking off the holiday season on December 2, 2022!
Order of Events
Tree Lighting - 5:30pm - Start the night outside the Rotunda (235 W. Broadway) with hot chocolate, music, the lighting of the Downtown Christmas tree, and a glimpse at Santa!
Lantern Stroll & Caroling - 6:00pm - The night continues as we follow Santa from the Rotunda down to the river with a lantern walk. Along the short walk enjoy some caroling outside of our downtown businesses. Make sure to bring along a lantern from home or purchase one at the tree lighting (limited quantities available).
Lanterns are numbered to indicate songs from the program that you can pick up at the Tree Lighting at the Rotunda!
Walk of Lights Lighting Ceremony - 6:30pm- The night wraps up with the lighting of the Walk of Lights along Riverfront Street (29 Riverfront Street) and across the river. Stick around after the lights are on for treats, giveaways (including a Walk of Lights ornament), and the chance to meet Santa!
Bring your lantern or pick one up at the tree lighting (limited quantities available) to help light up the streets as we carol our way through downtown!
