A great time was had by all at this year’s Carnival Milwaukee
Saturday, February 23, 2013 ~ 7:00pm to 11:00pm
Over 235 guests joined UEDA at the Zoofari Conference Center for a wonderful night of flavorful exotic dishes from 26 local restaurants and caterers, live music by De La Buena, guests in costumes & cultural attire and other carnival entertainment.
Carnival Milwaukee is a “party with a purpose” – it’s an opportunity to celebrate our cultural diversity with an evening of fun & entertainment, while supporting local businesses and raising funds to support UEDA’s programs & operations, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We appreciate the support of our guests, 
sponsors, Food Tasting participants, Raffle donors, Committee and Volunteers!
