MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- "Holidays on the Hop" will return for another season in downtown Milwaukee.

The initiative, back for a fourth season, will feature live, holiday-themed music and cookie giveaways aboard the city's streetcars, along with festive decor on each of the system's 20 streetcar station shelters.

Kicking off Saturday, Dec. 2 from 3-5 p.m. and continuing Dec. 9 and Dec. 16, riders can enjoy the following live performances:

Saturday, Dec. 2: JL Russell Jazz Trio
Saturday, Dec. 9: Sarah Fierek
Saturday, Dec. 16: Milwaukee Choristers

“We look forward to once again having The Hop be a safe and convenient option for exploring downtown Milwaukee this holiday season, as well as a holiday destination in and of itself,” Commissioner of Public Works Jerrel Kruschke said. “We have some tremendous performers lined up to bring the spirit of the season on board The Hop and appreciate our many downtown partners whose support makes ‘Holidays on The Hop’ possible.”

Streetcar shelters will be adorned with holiday decor and themes from Hop partners including Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin, HNTB, Jewish Museum Milwaukee, Milwaukee Downtown BID #21, Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and Pabst Theater Group.
