Wisconsin: Oshkosh Celebration of Lights
With half a million lights, carriage rides, and Santa's workshop, the Oshkosh Celebration of Lights is one of the hottest tickets in town. Proceeds are donated to the Salvation Army and other nonprofit organizations that support local families, and if you bring a donation of a sealed hygiene item or non-perishable food, you can get $5 off your ticket price. The Menominee Park celebration runs from the day after Thanksgiving until December 31.
