Festival Description & Information
NEW THIS YEAR! We’re adding a second Third Ward Art Festival this spring!
The Spring Third Ward Art Festival is located just three blocks south of downtown Milwaukee, in the Historic Third Ward knows as “Milwaukee’s Arts and Fashion District.” This upscale area boasts the city’s most dynamic array of restaurants, spas, theaters, galleries and unique shopping – attracting visitors from near and far. The Third Ward is a wonderful mix of old and new, with great architecture and creative renovations. With a population of about 600,000 Milwaukee is the largest city in the state of Wisconsin and the 30th most populous city in the United States.
Wide sidewalks are home to numerous outdoor cafes which are well situated to look at art with the back to back layout down the street. Each artist has ample back storage space, too!
