The celebration kicked off on Thursday, November 18, 2021, with a holiday broadcast on WISN-TV 12, which featured a sampling of downtown’s holiday shows and an all-new finale to signal the start of the holiday season in Milwaukee. The annual display of lights, coordinated by Milwaukee Downtown BID #21, transforms three downtown parks into winter wonderland scenes – “Community Spirit Park” at Cathedral Square Park, “HiBEARnation Station” at Pere Marquette Park and “Home Is Where the Hearth Is Powered by We Energies” at Zeidler Union Square – as well as illuminates three downtown thoroughfares.
