Special Events

Milwaukee Recreation hosts a number of exciting, special events throughout the year for all ages. While some events occur only once (be sure to also check the news section), many events are planned on an annual basis. Events which occur from year to year are consistently improved to attract more participation and increase customer satisfaction. Oftentimes the events may include community partners.
