Community Events
WPS supports so many events in the communities we serve — we can't list them all. Here are just a few examples.
- WPS Kids' Power Run
- The WPS Kids' Power Run is a 1/2-mile run that begins and ends at our office in downtown Green Bay. The run is for children 10 and under. Families can also enjoy music, food, inflatable fun and a clown.
- WPS Garden of Lights
- WPS and the Green Bay Botanical Garden host a holiday favorite. Visitors to the garden can walk or take a horse-drawn carriage and be dazzled by more than 200,000 lights crafted into flowers, butterflies and other botanical themes. The WPS Garden of Lights runs from the day after Thanksgiving until Christmas.
- Oshkosh Celebration of Lights
- WPS also sponsors the Celebration of Lights — a spectacular holiday event at Menominee Park in Oshkosh. The event draws more than 11,000 vehicles and continues to grow! Both events feature LED lighting displays and information on how to conserve energy.
- Kayak/Canoe Events
- WPS is a season sponsor for Wausau Kayak/Canoe Corporation events. The Wausau Kayak/Canoe Corporation is an educational resource for whitewater kayak and canoe enthusiasts. The group provides premier venues for paddle sports in local communities; whitewater training for everyone; and local, national and international competition at Wausau Whitewater Park.
