About Candy Cane Lane
What began with a few West Allis neighbors decorating their yards and handing out candy canes has now become known as Candy Cane Lane and grown to include 300+ homes and has raised millions for the MACC Fund! The past seven years alone have raised over $1 million with 2020 raising a Candy Cane Lane record $207,512, and last year, 2023, coming in a close second at $194,000!
Beginning the day after Thanksgiving through Christmas Day (this year, November 29th through December 25th), Candy Cane Lane will have its light aglow in West Allis, WI! The neighborhood is bordered by Montana Avenue on the north, Oklahoma Avenue on the south, 96th Street on the west, and 92nd Street on the east. The MACC Fund donation spot can be found on 95th Street between Oklahoma Ave. and Manitoba St. Look for the Candy Cane Lane volunteers collecting donations in blue buckets with MACC Fund and North Shore Bank logos! Lights will be on and volunteers will be out collecting donations from 6-9 pm Mondays-Thursdays, 6-10 pm Fridays, 5-10 pm Saturdays, and 5-9 pm Sundays. From December 6th through December 23rd, you might even get a chance to see Santa!
