WEST ALLIS — It’s become a special tradition for neighbors near the corner of 64th & Lapham. Miracle on 64th St. returns Friday.
In its third year, the display features 12,000 lights that illuminate this little slice of West Allis along with holiday decorations and inflatables. Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, and the elves also make appearances each night outside of the 24th and 25th when they have to return to the North Pole.
The nonprofit hosts this fundraiser all to benefit a cause each year. This year, donations will go to the Milwaukee Homeless Veterans Initiative just down the street. Previous Coverage: https://www.

The display runs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.
m. all the way up until Christmas. You are encouraged to walk around the displays.
There are several parking lots nearby open for visitors. Cash donations can be dropped off at the corner of 64th and Lapham. You can also make a donation by going to any Landmark Credit Union.
