City of Milwaukee officials and the Department of Public Works Forestry Services Division harvested the annual City Christmas Tree on Wednesday, Nov. 1.
2023 marks the 110th year of the Christmas tree lighting in Milwaukee, the longest running official tree in the United States other than New York City’s.
For the 2023 City Christmas Tree harvest, the city of Milwaukee is again partnering with Black Husky Brewing who will take boughs from the tree to create a beer. Proceeds from the sale of that beer will benefit the Milwaukee Urban Forestry Fund.
