Summer in full color
Each year, the Museum grounds transform into a vibrant outdoor gallery featuring 145 juried artists from across the country, live music in the air, and food and drinks to enjoy along the way. It’s a celebration of art and creativity set against the backdrop of Lake Michigan.
Come ready to explore. Meet artists, hear their stories, and discover work across painting, jewelry, ceramics, glass, and more. Whether you plan your route or wander as you go, there’s something new around every corner.
Stay a little longer this year! With extended evening hours you can come for dinner or happy hour, catch a live performance, and enjoy the views in the Wine Garden as the sun goes down.
There’s also room to roll up your sleeves. Hands-on artmaking opportunities for all ages invite kids, families, and friends to get creative and make something of your own. Best of all, your festival ticket includes full access to the Milwaukee Art Museum. Step inside to enjoy the galleries, take a break from the crowds, or join a drop-in tour before heading back outside.
