The Oshkosh Celebration of Lights
Oshkosh’s Celebration of Lights started in 2001 in the one acre of Opera House Square in downtown Oshkosh Wisconsin, with a modest collection of Holiday displays and a lit Christmas tree. The very next year, the Celebration moved to its home in Menominee Park, a 109 acre venue located on picturesque Lake Winnebago.
Every year, the Oshkosh Celebration of Lights transforms picturesque Menominee Park into a Holiday Extravaganza! A drive through the park offers over one mile of spectacular lights and displays that create awe and inspire families from near and far.
This year's Oshkosh Celebration of Lights will prove to be better than ever with live reindeer, as well as horse-drawn carriage rides and a Christmas Gift Shop. Visits with Santa in his workshop are always popular!
