Germantown Christmas Festival

Description

The Germantown Christmas Festival kicks-off the Holiday Season in Germantown. This year the festival falls on Veterans Day, a day intended to honor and thank all military personnel who served the United States in all wars, particularly living veterans. Veterans will be honored throughout the day. There are family friendly activities scheduled all day so bring your family, friends and neighbors out to enjoy the community before the busyness of the season takes over. 

Sponsorships
Sponsorships are used to cover expenses for the day's activities such as some of the "entertainment" parade entries (Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Racing Sausages & Bernie Brewer, professional bands, costumed characters, etc...), horse-drawn carriages, treats at the tree lighting.
