On July 18, Blueberry Fest featured fresh blueberries from Steffen Orchards, Fort Atkinson (collectively eating “at least” 200 pounds of blueberries and probably way more😅) and custom brews from Amorphic Beer and topped off with all kinds of sweet and savory blueberry goodies from local vendors.
This neighborhood block party celebrates the Riverwest neighborhood and the Milwaukee community with live music, craft and activity stations, face-painting, tarot, community orgs, tintype photography, live block printing and more.
“This is what community looks like—showing up, getting to know your neighbors, supporting local businesses, sharing joy together and remembering that creating community can happen in your own backyard. Thank you to everyone who visited blueberry fest, our amazing vendors who made blueberry everything to get into the spirit of this fruit, and the other wonderful organizers of blueberry fest who put their heart and soul into this neighborhood block party!” Cheers! Celeste & Gigi, The Polish Flat
