Celebrate Christmas in South Milwaukee Sunday
Christmas season in South Milwaukee is in full swing, and you can see proof of that at several merry events today (Sunday, November 29).
- Festivities begin with the South Milwaukee Christmas Parade, which begins at 1 p.m. at 12th and Milwaukee before heading west to 15th and south to City Hall. More than 50 entrants are expected, including a visit from Santa Claus himself. The South Milwaukee Lions Club is presenting the parade and has done a great job of growing this event. Don’t forget — last year the parade almost didn’t happen at all.
- Waiting at the end of the parade route is the city’s Old Fashioned Christmas celebration. This event, being held throughout Sunday afternoon, features food, refreshments, crafts, music and pictures with Santa at City Hall.
- The festivities conclude with the city’s tree lighting ceremony at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall. The event inclues sing-along carols.
You can get a complete schedule of Sunday’s South Milwaukee events from this PDF document posted at SouthMilwaukee.org.
