Put a little — or a lot of — twinkle and shine into your holiday plans at a Wisconsin light display. Communities go all out hosting impressive displays of colorful lights, sound and decorations. Here’s to taking in the lights of the season.
A double dose of holiday splendor in Oshkosh (Winnebago County)
Plan a trip to Oshkosh in the coming weeks for two fantastic ways to enjoy the season. Start by visiting the Oshkosh Celebration of Lights.
The drive-through display winds around the EAA Grounds and features hundreds of thousands of lights. You’ll be wowed by tons of trees filled with lights, decorative scenes, animated displays and more. The Oshkosh Celebration of Lights kicks off Friday, Nov. 29, and is open daily through New Year’s Eve.
Then, soak in another seasonal sight at the Paine Art Center & Gardens for the Nutcracker in the Castle. This annual event transforms the Paine into scenes from the classical story. The ornate, former mansion is filled with elaborately decorated Christmas trees, massive nutcrackers and more. Either take a self-guided tour of the property or join for the guided tour where ballet dancers bring the story to life. The Nutcracker in the Castle runs until Jan. 6.
