Center Street Daze Festival 2018

Friday, July 27, 2018 – Center Street Daze is a street festival held in Milwaukee’s vibrant Riverwest neighborhood, currently in its 21st year, Center Street Daze has been happening annually since 1997. Center Street Daze is operated by the Riverwest Business Association and is meant to showcase the businesses, artists, food, talent and other vendors of the Riverwest neighborhood and beyond.

Each year Center Street Daze grows larger while retaining its community-oriented emphasis and this year is no exception. In 2018, we will still be hosting events that are time tested favorites such as the famous Pushcart Race, Classic Car Show and family art activities sponsored by the Riverwest Artist Association .  This year, we will also be adding a Free Throw contest for children and adults alike, hula hoop contest and food drive to benefit the Riverwest Food Pantry, an area for young local artists to showcase their talent and the Diverse and Resilient Robber Rover with games, giveaways and information as part of their 414ALL condom campaign.
