The City of Milwaukee’s annual celebration of African-American culture, history, art, commerce, and entertainment will take place August 3 – 10, 2024.

The Bronzeville Cultural and Entertainment District was the primary African-American economic and social hub of its time, Bronzeville brought all ethnicities together to celebrate African-American culture - highlighting jazz, blues and the arts between the early 1900s and the 1960s. Today you see annual festivals that celebrate the strong roots of jazz and the arts in the neighborhood, and the main thoroughfare, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive, is lined with African American-owned businesses. Enjoy the diverse dining and shopping establishments on this street and throughout surrounding neighborhoods like Harambee and Halyard Park.
