At each stop, the train transforms into a pop-up convert venue. This year, Meghan Patrick, Tanika Charles, and Kelly Prescott will perform at all of the Wisconsin stops.

The best thing about the Holiday Train, though, is that it’s all for a good cause – fighting hunger. In exchange for the holly jolly entertainment, attendees are asked to make a donation to their local food bank.
