Lakefront Festival of Art

Start: Friday, June 12, 2026 10:00AM
End: Sunday, June 14, 2026 7:00PM

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.
