READ MORE FROM MILMAG MINI HERE.
This year is the first ever Mini Fest in Milwaukee – an art-making party, taking place on June 30 from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. at Zócalo Food Truck Park. Mini Fest was started five years ago in Chicago by arts educator Sydney Walters, who is now bringing the party northward! At the fest, you can make all kinds of cool things, learn new skills, eat fun food, and hang out with a bunch of other kids. Artists from around the city and state will be selling their handmade items, including some folks from the Milwaukee Makers Market.
