Don’t miss the Whoville Holiday Nov. 19 in Downtown Oshkosh
Even the Grinch won’t be able to resist the whimsically festive doings on Saturday, Nov. 19, when everyone who’s anyone gathers for a Whoville Holiday in Downtown Oshkosh.
It’s a day full of fun events and activities for families, sponsored by the businesses and organizations in the Downtown Business Improvement District.
The green eggs and ham-themed Breakfast with the Grinch at the Best Western Waterfront Hotel Ballroom is sold out, but there are plenty of other Whoville activities going on throughout Downtown Oshkosh to get families in the holiday spirit:

Time Theater

Grinchy good fun includes reading of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Pin the Heart on the Grinch and Happy Holiday Plinko games; a holiday card-making activity; and a family reading corner. Come in your best Whoville attire to get a photo taken and enter our costume contest. Enter at the old front doors on Washington Avenue. This event is free and open to the public.
