The holiday spirit is chugging into towns throughout Wisconsin this weekend.

The 2024 Canadian Pacific Kansas City's Holiday Train is passing through our state Saturday through Monday as it makes its monthlong journey across the U.S. and Canada. The train is a brightly colored, moving holiday lights display, and professional musicians play free concerts from the locomotive's festive stage.

The Lone Bellow and Tiera Kennedy are scheduled to perform at the train's Wisconsin stops. The Lone Bellow are a Nashville-based trio that started in 2013, according to CPKC's website. The group plays folk-pop and Americana music and has performed in Milwaukee before, including a 2021 concert at Shank Hall. Tiera Kennedy is a country singer-songwriter from Alabama.

The Holiday Train's annual journeys began in 1999 with the mission to raise "money, food and awareness" to support food banks. CPKC donates to a local food bank at each train stop and encourages attendees to bring a monetary or food donation.
