Milwaukee's much-anticipated New Year's Eve festivities include a spirited fireworks display presented by the We Energies Foundation, delighting downtown spectators at the aptly named "Cheer District." As reported by FOX 6 Now, the event is entirely gratis and opens to public participation, beginning sharply at 8 p.m. next Tuesday, in the heart of the city.
Eager attendees are encouraged to gather around Deer District's plaza, directly opposite The Trade Hotel, to witness the spectacle. To comfortably enjoy the show, bringing chairs and blankets is a wise move. In a direct nod to the community, the evening isn't just about the fireworks; locals can look forward to taking full advantage of New Year’s Eve specials dispersed through neighboring establishments, including The MECCA Sports Bar & Grill and Good City Brewing, as the Fiserv Forum website points out. It's an orchestrated effort to ensure not only the skies are ablaze, but the local economy as well.
Further details on the event, provided by WISN, highlight the role of Deer District—or the "Cheer District" for the holidays—in hosting these memorable explosions of color. The fireworks show intends to beautifully cap off an evening already sparkled with entertainment, trailing the 6 p.m. appearance by the Harlem Globetrotters at Fiserv Forum.
Information surrounding the logistics of the event is also made available; specifically, the precise location of the fireworks launch, set uniquely across from The Trade Hotel on 1224 N. Vel R. Phillips Avenue. This was shared by a press release, which, while not penned by an Urban Milwaukee writer, was noted by the publication as a source deemed reliable. The press release, as found on Urban Milwaukee, asserts the plaza as the recommended vantage point for the public to not only watch but truly immerse themselves in the vibrant display soon to light up Milwaukee’s winter night.
