Miller “Holiday Lites” Display Returns to Brighten the Miller Valley this Holiday Season

MILWAUKEE (November 15, 2018) – For the 15th consecutive year, the Miller Holiday Lites display will once again transform Miller Valley at the Milwaukee Brewery during the holiday season. Nearly 700,000 lights synchronized to holiday music will light up the area. This year’s display, the largest of its kind in the Midwest, also will feature more than 1,300 feet of garland and a beer keg tree comprised of 225 barrels.

Visitors to Holiday Lites will receive a free brewery mini-tour, special giveaways and discounts at the Girl in the Moon Brewery Shop. Visitors age 21 and older can sample beer at the end of the tour. The tradition of lighting up Miller Valley during the holidays began in the 1950’s and was revitalized in 2004 as part of Miller Brewing Company’s 150^th anniversary.

“We believe that Holiday Lites has become a favorite seasonal tradition for families in and around Milwaukee,” said Kindra Loferski, Manager of Guest Relations for MillerCoors. “We encourage everyone to come out, enjoy the show, and celebrate the season in Miller Valley.”

The Holiday Lites show takes place each Friday and Saturday from the end of November though most of December, beginning Friday, November 30, and running through Saturday, December 22. Shows run every 20 minutes, beginning at 4:40 p.m. until 9 p.m. (CST) at the Miller Visitor Center, located at 42nd and State. In addition to the Lite Show, the Visitor Center will offer special discounts and giveaways to visitors following the tours. Visitors are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate to Toys-For-Tots or a non-perishable food item for Hunger Task Force.

A number of MillerCoors beers, cider and flavored malt beverages will also be available for sampling, including a limited supply of our time -honored holiday tradition of Frederick Miller’s Classic Chocolate Lager. This year, we have produced a few extra barrels to be shared exclusively with a handful of establishments in the local Milwaukee area.  Stay tuned to @millerbrewerytour Facebook page for a list of locations carrying our popular holiday brew.
