Christmas marches into Appleton during the 39th Annual Downtown Appleton Christmas Parade November 24. Held every year on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, the parade is the largest nighttime Christmas parade in Wisconsin.
Regular parade-goers know to mark their spot along College Avenue early, then head out to their favorite downtown Appleton restaurants for dinner. The parade begins at State Street, follows along College Ave. and ends at Drew Street. Nearly 50,000 people, bundled in winter coats and snuggled under blankets, watch, listen, and enjoy the spectacle of nearly 75 parade units, including floats, fire trucks, and flames. Along with those attending, over 100,000 watch the event live on WFRV-TV 5, Green Bay and WJMN-TV 3 from Escanaba, Michigan.
The street echoes with music and merriment as seventeen marching bands and costumed performers stream by under a canopy of gold tinsel angels and the November night sky. Children await a glimpse of the guest of honor, all the way from the North Pole.
Following the parade, Appleton Mayor Tim Hanna and Parade Marshall Jay Schumerth will lead the Annual City of Appleton Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in City Park. The ceremony will feature a chorus of Christmas carols by the Appleton Boychoir and a community sing-along, beginning at approximately 7:45 pm.
The theme of this year’s parade is “A Child’s Christmas,” but children and grownups alike will delight when Santa Claus closes the parade by wishing everyone a hearty “Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!”

There are those who dread winter’s upcoming snowfall, and there are those who live for it.
Soon winter will be here in Wisconsin, and skiers and snowboarders can head for the slopes. Whether you ski or ride, area ski hills have something for everyone. Beginners can work on their form on the green runs, while expert skiers take on the challenges of the bumps and jumps. After a day on the trails, enjoy the après ski life with live bands and a frosty beer, or warm up with hot chocolate while you curl up to a toasty fire.
Create a memorable ski vacation with our discount lift tickets to BlackJack ski resort in Bessemer, Michigan. You’ll find new improvements to an old favorite along with unbelievable amounts of lake effect snow. New owners have made BlackJack Ski Resort even better with improvements to the lodge, a new terrain park, and a renewed focus on customer service.
Head out to a local Wisconsin favorite with discount lift tickets to Nordic Mountain near Wild Rose. Local ski bums know Nordic Mountain is a great place to learn, and they now have a new beginner area and lift. The adventurous can shred it up in three terrain parks, or try Nordy’s Narrows, a new black diamond run that winds through the woods.
Here in the Midwest, we may not have the altitude, but we do have the attitude. Whether your family is skiing or snowboarding, staying close to home means affordable fun for everyone.
Think Snow!

 A tunnel of fall color on a Wisconsin rustic road No matter how many times we’ve seen it before, the change of seasons from summer to fall is one of nature’s greatest shows in Wisconsin.
Highlights of rust and orange wash over the deep green of treetops across the state. Vibrant gold canopies line rustic roads and join overhead in a tunnel of color. The white steeples of country churches and stout red barns dot tall bluffs ablaze with color, overlooking brilliant valleys. Wisconsin’s many lakes mirror a hazy reflection of jewel-toned sky, birch, and maple alongside a stand of waving cattails. Then there’s the forest floor, where bright red sumac parades across golden yellow prairies, ferns and grasses take refuge under auburn oaks, and leaves crunch beneath your feet.
For the latest updates for fall colors, check out Travel Wisconsin’s fall color report. Communities around the state report peak color conditions, recommend scenic routes, and discuss local activities and happenings. Finish your free leaf-viewing tours with discount gift certificates from Rtownshopper.com. We’ll get you there with hotel travel coupons in 19 cities and numerous discount restaurant coupons for dinner and a “show.” Autumn’s show comes for free, but it’s here for just a short time before it’s gone.
Where’s your favorite place to view Wisconsin’s fall colors?
