Friday downtown shops stay open late, allowing visitors to enjoy seasonal shopping, festive window displays, and local treats. Families can participate in the Cookie Walk on Saturday, collecting holiday treats from local businesses, and enjoy children’s crafts, story times, and live music. The Holly Jolly Trolley also runs, providing easy access between downtown Waupaca and nearby King. Wrap up the weekend on Sunday by exploring downtown and King, take in the Artful Tree Display, and capture seasonal photos, making the most of the holiday atmosphere throughout the town.
