4th Annual Back to School Festival

Created by 2nd District Alderman Mark Chambers, Jr., the Annual Back to School Festival brings Milwaukee families together for a fun-filled day designed to help students start the school year ready for success. Enjoy a number of positive activities for children, including a bounce house, a bike raffle, a live DJ, free food and much more. Free hair haircuts are also available on a first-come, first-served basis. This free community celebration combines essential back-to-school resources with food, entertainment, family activities and opportunities to connect with local organizations and service providers.
