Proudly partnering with Ronald McDonald House Charities for over 10 years
Every year, the Christmas Carnival of Lights partners with Ronald McDonald House Charities Eastern Wisconsin for the holiday season. Ronald McDonald House is a "home away from home" for families whose lives have been disrupted as a result of their child's illness or injury. Since their doors opened in 1984, more than 34,000 families have called the Ronald McDonald House in Milwaukee home. They offer a place to call home at little or no cost so families can stay together which helps their child heal faster.
The Christmas Carnival of Lights donates $1 for every car that comes through the light show to the Ronald McDonald House. In addition, we donate over $2,500 in certificates every year for families of the Ronald McDonald House to enjoy our holiday light show.
