Every day is a great day to be in Brew City, but April 14th is a day officially dedicated for celebrating everything Milwaukee. The MKE festivities started in 2010, as Milwaukee Day fits so well on April 14th thanks to the American way of noting dates: 4/14, similar to the local telephone area code.
There’s about a bazillion different specials and events going on this Sunday, 4/14/2019, in honor of it all. A few of our choices are listed below:
For Drinkers

The Other, Other Things to Do

While we at The Squeaky Curd try to show our love for this great city each and every day, we rep our MKE pride just a little bit more each April 14th. So raise an old fashioned, display your OG Milwaukee flag (or the “People’s” flag, if you must), and show your city some love, Milwaukee.
