OUR PLACE
The 50th Annual Electric Christmas Parade is this Saturday, December 6, 2025.
Visit Lake Geneva is excited to present the parade of the year. The Electric Christmas Parade is one of a kind and a great way to celebrate this joyful season with family, friends, and the wonderful people that make up Lake Geneva. The parade starts at 5 p.m. and moves down Broad and Main Streets in downtown Lake Geneva. Parking along the parade route will be closed beginning at 2 p.m. to get ready for the big event.
Please arrive early to secure a convenient parking spot and avoid the rush. For safety reasons, everyone is asked to stay on sidewalks and curbs. The parade is a very popular event, and spaces fill up quickly. It’s expected to be very cold on the evening of the parade, so be sure to bundle up. This light-filled, colorful parade is a magical part of the Christmas season. On the morning of the parade, Santa will be at the Lake Geneva Badger High School, enjoying some holiday music and a pancake breakfast from 8 a.m. until 11 a.m. Tickets are available at the door. Adult tickets are $10, children three through twelve are $8, and those two and younger are free.
Lake Geneva is a magical destination for the Christmas season.
There are so many different displays, events, and activities to fill you with the holiday spirit. The Santa Cruise is one of the magical Christmas activities to enjoy. This Christmas Boat Cruise is a forty-minute trip on the lake to Santa’s Hideaway. There are lighted displays, coloring activities, and concessions, including hot cocoa and cookies to enjoy. Along the tour Santa himself will be spotted, and your child will get to hear their name read from his nice list.
To book your cruise, call Lake Geneva Cruise Line at 262-248-6206 or check out their website. The cruise departs multiple times a day and runs now through January 3, 2026.
Santa will be spending plenty of time in Lake Geneva this Christmas season. He will be in town every Thursday in December from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at various downtown locations. This Thursday, December 4th, he will be at the Lake Geneva Library.
