3 Week Festival

Friday-Sunday, December 3-19

Experience one of southeastern Wisconsin's most delightful Christmas destinations!

Outdoor Christmas Market + Live Indoor Shows

An immersive Christmas experience for the Whole Family!

Imagine...a special night out as a family at the Spectacular Christmas Festival. You enjoy the sparkling light display as you drive onto the property and park with plenty of time to grab a delicious fish fry from the Great Outdoors Supper Club before heading inside to claim your seats for the music-filled production of Dickens', A Christmas Carol. After the show wraps up, you hop on the horse-drawn carriage and enjoy a peaceful ride around the property, sipping your cup of local coffee or free hot chocolate. Then peruse the market shops and find the perfect Christmas gift for that loved one before you hop into the car and head home. With changing shows and opportunities each day and each weekend, every visit brings a new experience! Experience all this, and so much more, on your visit to the Spectacular Christmas Festival!
