Cedarburg, WI – Illuminate Ozaukee, now in its sixth year, is a drive-thru holiday light show proudly brought to the community by the Ozaukee Nonprofit Center. Over multiple nights in December, Herman A. Zeunert Park once again twinkled to life as local businesses, nonprofit organizations, and community groups collaborated to create a festive holiday attraction in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. Together, participants helped celebrate the season while highlighting the important work of nonprofit organizations throughout Ozaukee County.
Illuminate Ozaukee welcomed over 7,000 thousand visitors throughout the run of the show, with guests invited to vote online for their favorite plot along the route. Plots were numbered to allow visitors to easily participate in the voting process. Following the close of voting, Cedarburg Pom & Dance was selected as the 2025 Holiday Design Champion. Their vibrant, flamingo-themed holiday display stood out for its creativity, playful design, and festive spirit. Congratulations to Cedarburg Pom & Dance on this well-deserved recognition.
Local organizations were encouraged to bring their own creativity and materials to design unique plots along the Illuminate path, resulting in a wide variety of displays enjoyed by visitors of all ages. Illuminate Ozaukee continues to serve as a collaborative community event that brings together nonprofits, businesses, volunteers, and families during the holiday season.
“Illuminate Ozaukee has become a signature community tradition that showcases creativity, collaboration, and generosity,” said Carissa Barnes, Chief Executive Officer of the Ozaukee Nonprofit Center. “Each year, our participants continue to raise the bar, and Cedarburg Pom & Dance’s winning design is a wonderful example of the energy and spirit that make this event so special.”
