Cheer District, Presented by the We Energies Foundation
City of Milwaukee Christmas Tree lit by Mayor Cavalier Johnson on Dec. 5 in Deer District
Deer District has transformed into Cheer District, presented by the We Energies Foundation, this month for the sixth consecutive year from Nov. 15 through Jan. 15. The City of Milwaukee’s Christmas Tree is displayed in Deer District for the third straight year and was lit by Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson at a ceremony on Thursday, Dec. 5.
“We are delighted to brighten the holiday season for our friends and neighbors,” said Beth Straka, President of the We Energies Foundation. “Cheer District has become a special tradition for the We Energies Foundation, and it’s one of many ways we help light up the communities we serve.”
Dynamic Events by David Caruso, designer of the City of Milwaukee Christmas Tree, produced the tree lighting ceremony on Dec. 5 with Mayor Johnson. The City of Milwaukee Christmas Tree is the longest running official tree in the United States other than New York City, with this year marking the 111th year of the city’s tree.
“Our city is renowned for festivals and celebrations, and for more than a century, the lighting of our Christmas tree has brought Milwaukee residents together,” Johnson said. “I’m so pleased the great team of partners has, once again, joined to make the 2024 Christmas Tree lighting a memorable and spectacular event.”
In addition to the City of Milwaukee Christmas Tree, the following events and attractions will take place throughout the holiday season.
