Residents of Waukesha are embracing the chilly weather with some stellar activities, both indoors and out, as part of the city's annual JanBoree celebration. As temperatures dip, the Waukesha City officials are ensuring the fun doesn't freeze over. The JanBoree, backed by power equipment company Generac, has moved some of its space-themed festivities inside to keep attendees cozy while they enjoy the winter gala. According to a recent social media post from The City of Waukesha, tonight features a "Galaxy Glow Walk" at Schuetze Rec Center and a "Blast Off at the Y" event at the Waukesha YMCA.
Indoor spaces have become the frontier for adventure as officials shift certain events to avoid the biting cold. The "Galaxy Glow Walk", originally set for an outdoor venue, now illuminates the indoors from 5:30–7:00 PM; while later, from 6:30–8:00 PM, families can energize at the YMCA with the "Blast Off at the Y." Both happenings are part of a Friday night lineup that promises to defy the usual expectations of a winter evening.
But the frosty fun isn't over yet. The excitement continues into Saturday, January 24, with a day jam-packed with activities throughout the community. The City's announcement teases events at various landmarks, from the Library to the Museum and even the Airport —plenty of reasons to bundle up and step out.
Whether Waukesha natives or visitors from neighboring towns, everyone is encouraged to take part in the wintry escapades. For those wishing to plan their JanBoree journey, further details can be found at the event's official page, where the community buzz has already begun, with anticipations running as high as a rocket launch. Just remember, as the City of Waukesha's post expertly puts it, "And the fun doesn’t stop there!" So get those mittens ready and be prepared for a weekend of chilly thrills and indoor wonders.
