We had a great experience at Greek Fest this year…read more We didn't know what to expect as this was our first time but they did a great job with posting offerings, prices and locations of each beforehand on their site. The portions were generous. The lamb dinner came with delicious rice, salad and plenty of lamb. The gyros were also stacked and the souvlaki was perfect. We also started with the saganaki- perfectly crispy and salty cheese. The drinks were offered by the same company that handles State Fair so you can get cans of beer for $8-9, glasses of wine or they had some frozen cocktails. My only gripe was that they didn't post which gate to enter from. There are so many and when we walked to the pedestrian gate from 2024, we were told we couldn't walk through the grounds to greek fest. The staff helping with food and drinks were great - cooking and bringing up food as quick as they could. Friendly, too! Wish the music would've started sooner but we opted to head out since it was mostly food, games/rides for kids or a small area for greek shopping. However, food was worth it! Definitely check it out!

Ok,this is the 2nd year the chicken was so tough like rub and way over seasoned!…read moreA waste of $15 for one whole chicken. The salad not very good, only 2 olives and 1 piece of cheese 2 cherrie tomatoes, one small dressing,piece of bread,such tint olives for $10 was definitely not worth it. I though I could get filled up on the rice but it was literally crunchy and hard! No easy access for people with disabilities. Had to have my mom walk in for the food to take home because drive through was already closed. Such a waste of money for 3 bites of rubbery smokey over seasoned chicken,lame salad and crunch rice made me decide to not go back for a 3rd time. They are rushing the cooking and not tasting b4 selling to make huge profits. That's stealing people's money. Wauwatosa Greek Fest chicken was horrible last year however, nice and tender this year,great salad,olives,cheese,rice,bread,gyro and portions were worth the price! Please stop rushing the cooking time and taste test b4 selling...I mean how can you mess up rice!?

Another fun year at TosaFest. It was busier than I expected on a Friday…read more They had a lot of good and beverage vendors but still plenty of other vendors to check out. Same pushy vendors for home needs chasing people down. Some were more respectful than others. Excellent music this year! Really loved Valley Fox. They also had a lot of options for ticketed events like dinners if you wanted a more involved experience. Appreciate this free festival in the village.

Okay festival in the Village. My son and I came here on a Saturday night to see my friend's band…read moreplay. There's a good mix of kids' activities, food looked better than standard fest fare, and there was craft beer and wine, although I hate having to buy tickets for drinks, and the beer workers were pretty unorganized, and also ran out of a few kinds of beer fairly early. Then I saw that we could just have bought good beers from Cafés Hollander and Bavaria for cash! (Not from the Festival, itself). The headlining music acts were good, although the two main stages seemed miles apart, especially in 50-degree weather. We probably parked too far away down the Menomonee Parkway, it's a pretty popular festival, and nice "for the area", would come back for a music act I really liked.

I enjoy the variety of vendors and unique presentations throughout the day! Overall a great…read moreexperience!

Festa Italiana is my second favorite ethnic festival in MKE…read more Here's why: The food. Some of the best Italian bites from around MKE. Arancini, sausage, spaghetti, eggplant, cannoli.... On and on and on! Specifically - Octopus salad from Pietro's Pizza. Its a must have. It's a cold salad in oil/vinegar with celery, red onion and pepperoncini peppers. Really really good. The culture. Go to the church tent and see various statues from the Italian churches around MKE. While in there, look at hundreds of Italian family photos from days of old Milwaukee. Music. Frank Sinatra covers, opera, Italian Idol!... The fireworks. Bartolottas pulls out all the stops for the Festa Fireworks. All three nights of the Fest, word has it that Saturday always is the biggest show. If you love fireworks - these cant be missed! All in all, Festa represents the Italian in Milwaukee. Great food, great people - you're bound to have a good time.

I am not sure what happen to this festival, I was highly disappointed in the 2026 Festa Italiana…read more This fest used to be awesome every stage lit up with music filled with people, this is not the case anymore, the assortment of food was very disappointing, we came up from Chicago to spend the weekend and enjoy the fest, but I couldn't even find an Italian Ice stand!!!!! Come on at an Italian fest and no Ice!!! This is nothing like it used to be 10 years ago. I will not be back. I gave it two stars just because the grounds are amazing but the fest needs to a huge improvement or I will never come back.

Brady Street Festival 2022 was back and people were out with a vengeance. I was in New Orleans this…read morepast spring, and I don't think Bourbon Street on a Saturday night holds a candle to the frenetic drunk energy on Saturday night at Brady Street Festival, actually. Pros- One of the most diverse festivals in Milwaukee, good food vendors, good music lineups, good artisan vendors Cons- Overly Crowded, sprawling, a drunk fest with music (as an aside?), a surcharge on credit cards at Festival drink tents, people getting overserved Dryhootch Veterans house had a great R&B Veterans band, good food- Nomad staff were working hard and had a great party out back, as well. The main music stages have good local acts in a variety of styles, such as Negative Positive, Browns Crew, GuhGuhGoldDuhDuh (haha) throughout the day. I got some great tacos, and Elotes Mexican Street Corn. There is a lot of good food vendors here. Brady Street Festival is really great for the bars on Brady- as they set up shop w/slushies, liquor drinks, Mai Tais and the like, and the bars are bustling. But aye, there's the rub- our crowd of music dancers and watchers of De La Buena got physically plowed by people who by 7pm were already...plowed! Of course Brady Street Festival is 100% Brady Street, glad to have you back.

First time going to The Brady Street Festival it was a good experience. Went with my daughter and…read moremy grandson. Well I wanted to eat some of their food but my daughter said another time, Iwanted some of the waffle fries that was in one of the stands. I had great people saying hi to me, got along fine with some people there. Got a free shirt but just walking by a shirt stand. Thank you, at least they was nice. Maybe if they have the Festival again for next year I'll be there ready for anything and eat the food, have more fun. Stay a bit longer. Love that they had bikers doing great stunts and the guys that with the drums doing stepping music. Took a pic of The Godfathers picture they had outside a restaurant. Thank you.

Love the large display of great cars and trucks. Only wish is to have more Food vendors (trucks)read more

This was the 27th annually classic car show held in downtown West Allis where they block off…read moreGreenfield Ave for about six blocks and the side streets that are off of Greenfield Ave. The area was full of various cars and trucks is from origin barn find looking to car show quality vehicles with a Dj rocking the misic and a few food trucks. The area had a nice crowd and it was hard to move around at times and forget about taking any pictures with out people in them. Parking was a little tough because the area was packed with all the people attending but I found a spot a block away after circling the whole area. Overall the show was pretty cool if you like cars that were all across the board, if you get it there you can show it. The crowd was a nice mix of people from the youngest to the oldest with people walking dogs around the show.
