Hark! The Milwaukee Christmas tree will fall in the woods Tuesday continuing 111-year tradition
MILWAUKEE — This is the 111th year Milwaukee has held a tree-lighting ceremony — which is the second longest-running tree-lighting tradition behind New York.
O’ Tannenbaum will be on the chopping block Tuesday when the city’s Department of Public Works will harvest the 64-foot tall Colorado Blue Spruce. The pine was donated to the city by the Yeager family from their home on W. Washington Blvd.
After DPW yells “Timber,” the tree will be given a police escort all the way downtown, where it will be displayed just outside the Fiserv Forum.
The lights will be powered by We Energies and the city is partnering with Milwaukee Entertaining and David Caruso to style the tree.
Black Husky Brewing is also in partnership with the city and will take some of the tree branches to create a specialty beer. Proceeds from beer sales will go to the Milwaukee Urban Forestry Fund.

Milwaukee Wave learns its opponent for MASL championship series
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.
