Oconomowoc Christmas Parade

December 03, 2009 at 12:19 AM

If you want an early dose of holiday cheer, check out downtown Oconomowoc, this Saturday, December 5th, for the annual Christmas Parade.

The parade runs from 3 - 4pm, and follows a route from Fowler Park, south to downtown, through the round-about westward on Wisconsin Avenue, and then south on Main Street to Roosevelt Park.

The best place to see the parade is downtown or from various local businesses and churches, such as the steps of Dr. Martin Luther Church, on Main Street. They always welcome parade watchers, and sometimes offer hot chocolate and snacks.

In addition to various local groups, you will see some of our very own Shorewest Lake Country Team, following a very special “float”, and of course, Santa!

HO HO HO!

Wizard of Oz Christmas

November 30, 2009 at 04:35 PM · Posted under Glenn Hanon

The theme this year for the annual Christmas Parade in Oconomowoc is the Wizard of Oz. The parade is scheduled for this upcoming Saturday, December 5th at 3PM. Each year local residents participate in this fun parade. A few years ago we had so much snow some thought the parade would be cancelled. But like the post office, neither rain nor sleet…well something like that, the parade went on through the deep blowing snow. Santa always makes an appearance and one of the churches usually does a live nativity scene.

The parade route generally originates from Fowler Park and makes its way through the downtown area. It is best to plan on staking out your piece of sidewalk early since the weather looks to be nice, 30’s for Sunday and partly sunny. Most of the prime spots along Wisconsin Avenue go quickly. This is another great family event in Oconomowoc.
