Update: One other event I should call out for Saturday, November 21, is the South Milwaukee Historical Society’s Christmas tag and bake sale from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the society museum, 717 Milwaukee Avenue. Learn more at SouthMilwaukee.org.
South Milwaukee does Christmas right.
Indeed, the holiday season is an especially great time to live here because of the number of special events planned this time of year.
One great event is the South Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce’s tree lighting ceremony at Heritage Place (1oth and Milwaukee) this Saturday, November 21. Music is planned as part of the festivities. Tree lighting is at 5 p.m.
The city’s big celebration takes place on Sunday, November 29, starting with the annual South Milwaukee Christmas Parade at 1 p.m. The parade starts at 12th and Milwaukee and ends at City Hall, where a variety of Old Fashioned Christmas festivities are planned, including a visit from Santa Claus, food, music and the tree lighting cermony.
You can get a full schedule of Old Fashioned Christmas activities here.
And these are just a few of the things planned throughout the next month. From events at area churches to those at the South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center, a lot is happening this holiday season.
Remember, you can learn more about these events and others at Jim Shelenske’s SouthMilwaukee.org website. It does a great job keeping people informed on what’s happening around the city throughout the year.
