Home for the Holidays at Old World Wisconsin
Home for the Holidays at Old World Wisconsin
December 14 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Stroll through the site’s Crossroads Village, decked in holiday greenery and full of homes and shops bustling with holiday preparations. Explore how a rich mosaic of ethnic traditions continues to be part of their contemporary celebrations and learn the stories behind them.
Ready for a picturesque Victorian winter full of bustling shops, scenic stops and endless good cheer? Experience it all at Home for the Holidays, where you’ll stroll through a charming 1800s village filled with crackling bonfires, festive greenery and fun-filled craft making. Create your very own take-home ornament, find your family Christmas tree in an old-fashioned pine lot, dash through the snow on a horse-drawn wagon complete with jingling bells, visit Victorian Santa and so much more.
Old World Wisconsin is the perfect spot to meet friends and family from across the region to enjoy a day of warmth and discovery as you create your own holiday traditions. Sights, sounds, smells, and tastes will make history come to life as we connect in new ways.
