Christmas Lights & Desserts Bus Tour

As Buddy the Elf would say, “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.” If you agree, this is the tour for you. The bus will be led by a SINGING TOUR GUIDE for a Christmas caroling sing-a-long! This Santa-approved tour is the perfect mix of history, Milwaukee Christmas traditions, tasty treats and light-hearted holiday spirit. Did you know that Forbes in December 2019 named the Downtown Milwaukee lights as the best holiday light display in Wisconsin? This tour features stops to see many of those 500,000 lights and animated displays across the city complete with walking stops in Cathedral Square and Zeidler Union Square, plus viewing opportunities in areas such as Red Arrow Park, Pere Marquette Park and the Historic Third Ward. We encourage everyone to dress for the occasion; Santa hats, Elf stockings, ugly Christmas sweaters, pretty Christmas sweaters… all are welcome!
