2022 Special Nights

Oshkosh Celebration of Lights

LIGHTS DEDICATED TO A CAUSE NIGHTS

Each year, the Oshkosh Celebration of Lights organizes event nights to help shine our beautiful holiday lights toward a special dedication or tribute. Is there a cause you are passionate about that you would like to shine some Oshkosh area holiday lights on?

We welcome special night dedication additions to our light show, to help ignite the awareness and involvement the lights generate.

Dedication Night to Ella Schiek

We, the Schiek Family, are dedicating this night to our daughter Ella, a brilliant light in our life . We are also celebrating what would be her sweet 16th birthday this day as well! This is the perfect celebration for her as she motivates us to always be a light for all you meet. This Christmas season let us remember….
