The Capitol Christmas Tree has returned! The 32-foot balsam fir tree was donated to the state by the Menominee Nation, and the decoration theme is “hometown for the holidays.” Wisconsin's century-old tradition of the Capitol tree brightens the rotunda and sparks holiday joy. The 2021 Wisconsin State Capitol Ornament celebrates the tree’s return. If you’d like one for your home, visit shop.wisconsinhistory.org/2021-commemorative-capitol-ornament

The tree lighting ceremony will take place Friday, December 3rd at noon. You can watch the festivities online at wiseye.org/live
