November 21–December 29 • Downtown Milwaukee
November 21–December 29 • Downtown Milwaukee CELEBRIGHT THE SEASON The 15th Annual Milwaukee Holiday Lights Festival shined a whole new light on winter fun. For six weeks, the season’s best events, shows, restaurants, shopping and decorations could all be found in the heart of the city. • While Milwaukee Downtown provided the picturesque backdrop, the organization also ensured connectivity to everything happening to make downtown a premier holiday destination. CELEBRIGHT THE SEASON MILWAUKEE HOLIDAY LIGHTS FESTIVAL KICK-OFF EXTRAVAGANZA The Milwaukee Holiday Lights Festival pulled out all the stops for its 15th annual Kick-Off Extravaganza on Thursday, November 21. Music, dancing, ice carving, Santa, new animated light displays and thrilling fireworks – downtown never beamed so brightly, nor so gleefully as 6,000+ guests packed the park. Among the highlights were ice sculpting by Ice Beat Factory; live music by Spider George & The Web and The Tempters; skits by The Rep and First Stage; and dancing by Danceworks Youth Performance Company and Studio VIA. Media personalities Kidd & Elizabeth from 99.1 The Mix, and Patrick Paolantonio and Marianne Lyles from WISN 12 were also there, along with Mayor Tom Barrett, County Parks Director John Dargle and Alderman Bob Bauman – even Santa joined the party! Best of all, the entire evening was free – right down to the cocoa and cookies sponsored by Cousins Subs on Old World Third St., and Jingle Bus rides presented by T-Mobile Operated by Wireless Vision LLC. After the show, 702 guests jumped on the Jingle Bus to see all of the sights. CELEBRIGHT THE SEASON MILWAUKEE HOLIDAY LIGHTS FESTIVAL BRIGHTENS DOWNTOWN STREETS & PARKS The Milwaukee Holiday Lights Festival is the city’s largest display of holiday cheer. While chandeliers and harp lamp decor lined Wisconsin Avenue, a half million lights and dozens of animated sculptures brightened three parks. Themes at Pere Marquette Park and Zeidler Union Square change annually, but Cathedral Square Park maintains its local appeal with “Community Spirit Park.” Cathedral Square Park – “Community Spirit Park” Presented by Columbia St. Mary’s, Madison Medical Affiliates and Milwaukee County Parks This reoccurring tradition invited 60 schools and 2,263 students to add festive cheer. Every newly raised evergreen represented a class theme with handmade ornaments by students. After decorating their school’s tree, students were treated to cocoa and cookies compliments of Madison Medical Affiliates. During the decorating parties, nonperishable goods were also collected for Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin and 99.1 The Mix’s Stuff the Bus initiative. More than 600 lbs. of food were collected. _______________________________________________________________________ Pere Marquette Park – “Electric Elves” Presented by Zilber Property Group and Milwaukee County Parks Charged up for the season, electric elves were shown completing those last-minute tasks. From decorating trees and shopping for gifts to shipping out goodies by plane and train, it was a final push to get Santa ready for the busiest night of the year. _______________________________________________________________________ Zeidler Union Square – “Musical Bears” Presented by We Energies and Milwaukee County Parks Animated bear sculptures banded together in this rockin’ scene playing a keyboard, horn, guitar, drums and an accordion. Among the revelry, guests could find the everpopular Giant Red Teddy. CELEBRIGHT THE SEASON MILWAUKEE HOLIDAY LIGHTS FESTIVAL JINGLE BUS Presented by T-Mobile Operated by Wireless Vision LLC Narrated by Milwaukee Downtown’s Public Service Ambassadors, this 40-minute tour acquainted riders with downtown landmarks and the most decorated scenes. Even better, rides were just $1 per person! The 2014 service was again a resounding hit, accommodating 7,449 passengers. Despite a shorter season and several days of canceled service due to inclement weather, approximately 118 guests rode the Jingle Bus each hour. Passengers boarded at the Warming House at The Shops of Grand Avenue’s Center Court, where awaiting riders enjoyed an 18-piece animatronic symphony orchestra of bears, holiday shops, and free cookies and hot cocoa compliments of Wild Flour Bakery. Kids also received a holiday coloring book. CELEBRIGHT THE SEASON MILWAUKEE HOLIDAY LIGHTS FESTIVAL COCOA WITH THE CLAUSES Presented by Madison Medical Affiliates If believers preferred to hand-deliver their wish lists, the Fest had them covered there too. On Saturday, December 14, the Milwaukee Holiday Lights Festival flew Santa, Mrs. Claus and all their helpers to Cathedral Square for Cocoa with the Clauses. During their visit, approximately 300 families dropped in. Kids shared their wish lists, moms and dads snapped a free photo, and as the name suggests, cocoa and cookies were free too, thanks to the Fest’s sponsor, Madison Medical Affiliates. SANTA’S MAILBOX Presented by 99.1 The Mix Whether you were naughty or nice, Santa’s Mailbox in Cathedral Square also topped the list of free things offered by the Fest. Presented by 99.1 The Mix, every boy and girl who wrote Santa received a personalized letter in return. Even with 1,658 letters to respond to, postage was not required, thanks to the support of Milwaukee Downtown and 99.1 The Mix. To boost awareness, The Mix also tossed in 156 on-air promos. CELEBRIGHT THE SEASON MILWAUKEE HOLIDAY LIGHTS FESTIVAL HOLIDAY ORNAMENT Each year, the Milwaukee Holiday Lights Festival preserves a piece of downtown history by casting a signature building or icon into a pewter ornament. The 2013 edition featured the U.S. Bank Tower. Past editions in the series were also made available for a premium. Online orders were accepted through milwaukeeholidaylights.com and okanjo.com. Point of sale purchases could be done at Milwaukee Downtown, Urban Milwaukee and Kloiber Jewelers. A total of 194 ornaments were sold through Milwaukee Downtown. MARKETING The Milwaukee Holiday Lights Festival produced the following print pieces to brand the event and recognize sponsors and community partners. Rack Cards A save-the-date card was produced in September with preliminary details of the kick-off celebration. The card was mailed to a 10,000-person database and inserted in the November issue of Milwaukee Magazine, which reached 33,479 homes. Warming House Signage Banners and freestanding signs were positioned throughout the The Shops of Grand Avenue to inform guests of the on-site Jingle Bus. T-Mobile Operated by Wireless Vision LLC and Wildflour Bakery were also recognized for their contributions to the service. Brochures To bundle the enormous amount of activity taking place in downtown Milwaukee over the holiday season, the Festival created a 44-page guide. Covering events, dining, nightlife, hotel accommodations and retail destinations, the highly coveted piece was distributed to 20,000. Park Signage Banners and freestanding signs were positioned in Cathedral Square Park, Pere Marquette Park and Zeidler Union Square for the duration of the season to acknowledge sponsors and community partners. Jingle Bus Tickets Aside from providing systematic boarding, the Jingle Bus ticket was an additional way to boost sponsor awareness. T-Mobile Operated by Wireless Vision LLC was the presenting sponsor of the 2013 service, garnering logo recognition on 13,000 tickets. Perforated and numbered, the consumer retains one part of their ticket following their tour, making that portion an ideal space for a coupon. Cocoa with the Clauses Menus Restaurants neighboring Cathedral Square Park offered kid-friendly menus at discounted prices to lure in families attending Cocoa with the Clauses. Menus were mixed into one flyer, which was distributed by Milwaukee Downtown’s Public Service Ambassadors. 200 menus were printed, allowing additional recognition for the sponsor of Cocoa with the Clauses, Madison Medical Affiliates.
