UEDA’s 5 Days of Carnival Milwaukee
5 Days of Carnival Milwaukee
February 22-26, 2021 | Virtual
While we will not be able to gather in person for our 2021 ‘party with a purpose’, this year’s Carnival Milwaukee fundraiser will be a week-long virtual celebration that will focus on giving back to the small businesses and local establishments that have supported UEDA and this event over the years. 5 Days of Carnival Milwaukee will run from February 22 through February 26, and each day will highlight an aspect of our annual, in-person event via email and social media (make sure to follow us on facebook here and sign-up to receive our e-communications here).
Check out our daily line-up below and view our week-long Dining Deals here!
In lieu of purchasing an event ticket this year, we are inviting you to make a $50 donation to UEDA. In return you will receive a $25 gift card to a locally-owned restaurant who has donated to UEDA in the past! You are also invited to join us at our Live Virtual Party on Friday, February 26 from 6PM-7PM for an opportunity to win amazing prize packages!
Any donation amount is accepted! Those who donate $50 will receive a gift card. $25 of your donation is tax-deductible.
