We’re fortunate to have a large number of local events happening on a regular basis in Green Bay. Some of them are up and coming, some are annual events we all look forward to.  The staples that we always bring the friends and family to, have a cup of hot chocolate and reflect on our past year.  It’s nice being in the same place once a year remembering these things.

So here are a few of December’s local offerings:

I hope you can make some of these dates!  It’s always nice to have your community offer free or cheap events such as this to keep everyone in the spirit.  We are a very lucky city with a lot to offer, and if you’re fortunate enough to be a part of it you are usually welcomed with open arms.
