## About

Since 1984, the West Allis neighborhood between 92nd and 96th Streets and Montana to Oklahoma Avenues transforms into Candy Cane Lane, a festive holiday tradition benefiting the MACC Fund (Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer). Over 300 neighboring homes string millions of sparkling holiday lights, blow molds, giant inflatable snow globes, singing animated Santas, and illuminated candy canes wrapped around front yard trees. Families can choose to slowly drive through the glittering streets or bundle up with a wagon or stroller for a magical winter walk. Friendly volunteers carrying official blue collection buckets greet visitors on 95th Street, where 100% of voluntary donations support critical pediatric cancer and blood disorder research in Wisconsin.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Neighborhood sidewalks are paved and level for strollers and wagons; street parking is available on perimeter avenues.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: If walking, bundle warmly; nearby West Allis community commercial districts offer heated cafes and family restrooms.
• Age Suitability: Universal appeal for all ages, particularly captivating for toddlers and young children.
• Sensory Tips: Neighborhood can become busy on weekend evenings; visiting on weekday twilight hours offers a serene, calm experience.
