There’s nothing more magical than gathering with your community to watch the town Christmas tree light up the night sky! ✨ The joy on the kids’ faces, the holiday music, and that first sparkle of light — it’s truly the start of the Christmas season in Lake Country and Waukesha County.
Whether your family loves the Oconomowoc tree lighting, Downtown Waukesha’s holiday kickoff, or Delafield’s festive celebration, this guide has all the local Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremonies you won’t want to miss.
If you can’t make it to the official lighting, don’t worry — these trees will shine bright all season long for your family to enjoy.
We’re so lucky in Lake Country to have so many welcoming communities celebrating the holidays together. Use this guide to plan your Christmas Tree Lighting adventures across Hartland, Pewaukee, Oconomowoc, Waukesha, Delafield, Brookfield, and beyond!
