HSHS St. Vincent Children's Hospital sponsors the 42nd Annual Green Bay Holiday Parade, held downtown on Saturday, November 21, 2026, between 10 and 11 am. The theme for 2026 is A Tropical Holiday in Green Bay, picturing Santa taking a break from the North Pole.
Organizers say families can enjoy the season in a fresh way while still getting the tunes, twinkling lights, Santa and neighborly spirit that have long made the parade a local favorite. Serving as Grand Marshal is Bex, host of Up Next with Bex, a local eleven year old who runs a podcast and loves sports. Sign-ups for 2026 parade entries have closed, and the float lineup has not been announced yet. The page also gives route and parking details, so read them before driving downtown.
Parent tip: Look up the route and parking on the page before leaving. Wear warm clothes for a chilly November morning outside.

The Neville Public Museum holds the first Bruce the Spruce, who once stood in the Prange's department store in Green Bay. As the story goes, Bruce is a tall Christmas tree who makes his home alongside Santa Claus at the North Pole. While still a sapling he once roused Santa from a Christmas Eve nap, and later he brought joy to Prange's shoppers and their kids every winter.
Bruce visits on six days in 2026, listed on the museum calendar as December 1, 2, 5, 12, 15 and 19. The Tuesday, Wednesday and December 15 visits run 4 to 7 pm, while the Saturdays run 12 to 3 pm. Admission is not mentioned on the event pages, so visit the museum's website to see up-to-date prices. You will find the museum on Museum Place in downtown Green Bay.
Parent tip: Look at the museum's website for what admission costs. Days when the Children Only Shop is open pair well with this visit.

Are there Christmas train rides for kids in Green Bay?
Yes, but they have their own guide. Santa trains and holiday train rides are listed in our Green Bay Christmas train rides guide, so this page sticks to story times, Santa visits and other events off the rails.
How do you confirm these events?
We list an event only after we find this season’s date on the host’s own website or an official city or tourism calendar. We last checked every listing on November 2, 2026. Hosts change details, so always confirm on the host’s page before you go.
Event names belong to their hosts. Rally Takes the Train is a family picture book and is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any host listed here. Confirm dates, times and prices on each host’s own site before you go.
