The Autism Society of Central Wisconsin is excited to invite you and your family to a special evening of holiday cheer at the beautiful Jefferson Street Inn in downtown Wausau!We understand that traditional holiday parades can sometimes be overwhelming due to large crowds, loud noises, and sensory stimulation. That's why we're offering a warm, quieter, and welcoming indoor space where Autistic individuals and their families can enjoy the magic of the Wausau Holiday Parade in a comfortable and inclusive environment. This special event is exclusively for individuals and families connected with the Autism Society of Central Wisconsin (ASCW). There is no cost to attend, thanks to the generosity of our supporters and the dedication of our volunteer Board of Directors.
