The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train is coming back! The train runs Nov. 21 to Dec. 20 for its 26th year of spreading holiday cheer and raising money, food and awareness for people struggling with food insecurity.
The shows are FREE to attend. CP asks attendees to bring a cash or non-perishable food donation if they’re able. Local food shelves will set up collection stations at each event, with all donations made staying with the local food bank to help people in need in the community.
There are 13 stops planned for Wisconsin: Sturtevant, Caledonia, Wauwatosa, Hartland, Oconomowoc, Watertown, Columbus, Portage, Wisconsin Dells, Mauston, Tomah, Sparta and La Crosse. See full schedule.
The Holiday Train has an amazing line up of artists: Alana Springsteen, American Authors, Clerel, James Barker Band, KT Tunstall, The Lone Bellow, Magic!, Seaforth, Shawnee Kish, Sofia Camara, Tiera Kennedy, and Tyler Shaw.

“The Holiday Train unites people in the spirit of the season as it travels across Canada and the United States, while generating critical support for our neighbours in need through the program’s support of local food banks. We are pleased to again send this magical train on a four-week trip across our network spreading holiday joy as we collect food and raise money to fight food insecurity. We look forward to seeing all the smiles and cheers from people young and old coming together in the spirit of giving.”
