Miracle on 64th St. lights display in West Allis returns to help homeless veterans
WEST ALLIS — It’s become a special tradition for neighbors near the corner of 64th & Lapham.
Miracle on 64th St. returns Friday. In its third year, the display features 12,000 lights that illuminate this little slice of West Allis along with holiday decorations and inflatables.
Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, and the elves also make appearances each night outside of the 24th and 25th when they have to return to the North Pole.

They’re also accepting food, gloves, hats, and coats.
“We’re really out here to help the people and keep it local, so that’s really what we’re all about, is making sure we help the community at large,” said Santa Claus.

Milwaukee Wave coach Marcio Leite 2025-26 team’s evolution in MASL
See first-year Milwaukee Wave head coach Marcio Leite discuss the roles of younger players and veterans as the 2025-26 MASL season begins.
The Milwaukee Wave had been in the awkward position of trying to sell tickets to the MASL championship series without knowing when it would actually host a game.
The questions were answered late April 19, when the San Diego Sockers beat the St. Louis Ambush in the other semifinal in overtime. Their series didn’t even start until four days after the Wave eliminated the Baltimore Blast with victories in a regulation Game 2 and knockout Game 3 at the UWM Panther Arena.
Now the finals are set for two of the most decorated teams in arena soccer.
The Wave will host Game 1 at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday, April 22 and then the series will finish at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, with Game 2 at 9:30 p.m. April 24 and a potential Game 3 at 9 p.m. April 27.
Three versions of the Sockers have totaled 16 championships in various indoor league with the latest iteration founded in 2009 owning six of those. The Wave has seven.
First-year Wave head coach Marcio Leite has won titles with both franchises.
MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Police Department is investigating a shooting that occurred on early Sunday morning on the 4900 block of W. Capitol Drive that left one person injured.

The police is currently looking for an unknown suspect at this time.
