🎅 5 Can’t-Miss Christmas Events in Sheboygan County

Looking for a little extra holiday magic this year? Whether you're new to the area or a lifelong local, Sheboygan County knows how to do Christmas right. From glowing light shows to festive parades, here are 5 must-see events that’ll get you in the spirit (and maybe even start a new tradition).


🎄 1. Making Spirits Bright – Sheboygan

Evergreen Park becomes a glowing winter wonderland during the holiday season. The drive-through light show features over a mile of brilliantly lit displays all set to festive music. It’s completely free to enter, though donations of pantry items are encouraged and go directly to local families in need.

Local Tip: Want the full experience? Ditch the car and hop on the trolley through the lights. It’s warm, cozy, and makes you feel like a kid again.


🎅 2. Sheboygan Holiday Parade & Tree Lighting

There’s something magical about small-town parades, and Sheboygan’s annual holiday parade delivers. Colorful floats, Christmas tunes, and a crowd full of smiling faces which all lead up to the big downtown tree lighting.

Local Tip: Get there early to grab a great spot, and warm up with a hot chocolate or coffee from one of the nearby local shops while you wait.


🎁 3. Old World Christmas Market – Elkhart Lake

Held at The Osthoff Resort, this European-style Christmas market is packed with handcrafted gifts, ornaments, and delicious holiday treats from around the world. It’s festive, charming, and feels straight out of a Hallmark movie.

Local Tip: Make a day of it. Wander the market, grab a bite to eat, and take in the winter beauty of Elkhart Lake. Don’t forget to bring a tote bag, you’ll definitely find something to bring home.


🏡 4. Holiday Memories at Sheboygan County Historical Museum

Need a cozy indoor activity? Holiday Memories features vintage Christmas window displays, decorated historic homes, and hands-on crafts and activities for the kids. It's a fun, educational way to enjoy the season without freezing.

Local Tip: Ideal for families or anyone who wants that nostalgic holiday feeling without being outside too long. They have some fun add on events throughout the month as well.


🛷 5. Main Street Memories – Sheboygan Falls

This event brings the charm with wagon rides, Santa visits, a holiday parade, and tree lighting, all right in the heart of Sheboygan Falls. It’s festive, family-friendly, and full of that small-town Christmas energy we all love.

Local Tip: Stick around after the parade and enjoy the downtown restaurants and shops. It’s a great excuse to make a day of it.


No matter how you celebrate the season, there’s something for everyone right here in Sheboygan County. Want more local tips, events, or things to do around the holidays? Reach out anytime, I’m always happy to share what makes this place feel like home.
