Even though another Summerfest is now behind us, Milwaukee still has a lot of festing left to do between now and the end of summer. Adding to long-running annual happenings like Brady Street Festival, Bastille Days, Bay View Bash, and the vast majority of ethnic festivals still on the festival season horizon are new neighborhood undertakings that are further bolstering Milwaukee’s “City Of Festivals” moniker.
One such event, Riverwest Blueberry Fest, is bringing family-friendly fun and a dash of sweetness to Chambers Street on Saturday, July 18. Following a successful debut in 2025, the festival—which is organized by Ebb & Flow Design Co., The Polish Flat, Seven Swan’s Crêperie, and Eucalyptus & Co.—is planning an even bigger, better, and more berry-filled day in its second year.
The community block party will take place from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on blocks situated near Seven Swan’s Crêperie (808 E. Chambers St.). During that six-hour span, Riverwest Blueberry Fest will feature live music, food and drinks—yes, including fresh blueberries!—available for purchase, activities for people of all ages, and goods available from approximately 65 local vendors.
Vendors include area artists and designers, vintage dealers, jewelry and ceramic specialists, crafters, community organizations, food and drink purveyors, home goods retailers, and a variety of other local businesses. Whether you’re a blueberry fanatic or you’re just looking for a fun way to spend a few hours on Chambers Street in the middle of summer, save the date and make plans to have a berry good time at Riverwest Blueberry Fest on July 18. We’ll see you there!
