Candy Cane Lane
A Neighborhood of Holiday Light Displays
In December of 1985, a group of neighbors in West Allis, WI got together to festively decorate their homes and wrap their trees like candy canes for the holidays in honor of a neighborhood child that was diagnosed with cancer. The neighbors encouraged visitors to make a small donation as they drove through the neighborhood enjoying the holiday lights to support the MACC Fund, and Candy Cane Lane was born.
Now in its 40th year, Candy Cane Lane has 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 $201,052, 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!
Make Candy Cane Lane a part of your family’s holiday tradition and help provide HOPE for kids battling cancer and related blood disorders.
