The Wisconsin Capitol Holiday Tree ranked No. 7 in USA Today’s 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards for best public holiday light displays. Celebrating its "Learning Tree" theme, the tree features handmade ornaments made by children across the state, honoring educators and school staff. Sourced from a local farm, the tree was lit in a ceremony led by Governor Tony Evers and remains on display in the Capitol rotunda through the year’s end.
