2021 Festival

At this time, we are making plans to produce our 40th festival the third weekend in August.

We are working with and evaluating input from Milwaukee County, the WI Health Department, and the State on how to safely produce a festival. We also continue to monitor CDC guidelines and government updates as we make preparations.
