New Canadian Pacific Holiday Train Schedule Includes Stops In Wisconsin

On Saturday, November 22, the CPKC Holiday Train will embark on its annual festive journey through the United States, spreading holiday cheer while providing entertainment and supporting local food banks.

The CPKC Holiday Train began in 1999 as a way to raise money and collect food for North American food banks. The annual program actually features two brightly decorated trains, allowing them to visit as many communities as possible across Canada and the U.S.

In each community they visit, they host free concerts from a boxcar stage and collect donations. Since its inaugural journey in 1999, the CPKC Holiday Train has raised more than $26 million and collected approximately 5.4 million pounds of food for community food banks in Canada and the U.S.

The 2025 schedule was recently announced, featuring many stops in Wisconsin. Anyone near the communities where it is stopping should make it a point to be there and get into the holiday spirit. Please bring a food shelf donation if you're able, and cash donations are also accepted.
