The holiday season officially gets started in Kenosha with the City of Kenosha Christmas Tree Lighting and Lightin’ Up. The free Tree Lighting program begins at 3:30 p.m. New to this year’s lineup is a spectacular drone light show that will take to the skies above Downtown Kenosha leading up to the tree lighting. 

Following the Tree Lighting, the Lightin' Up Downtown celebration continues with family activities, live entertainment, and special promotions at participating Downtown businesses, attractions, and outdoor spaces throughout the evening. Shops will be open extended hours. View all the decorated storefronts. The Electric Streetcar will be free to ride. Santa, Mrs. Claus, and live reindeer are part of the festivities.
