Milwaukee's 'First Oktoberfest':
Kegel's Inn in West Allis is getting a head start on the festivities with Milwaukee's "First Oktoberfest" this Friday and Saturday. In its seventh year, the "First Oktoberfest" festivities will be held from 58th to 60th Street on National Avenue and start at 4 p.m. Friday.

National Dog Day Patio Party:
Come spend time on the patio at Great Lakes Distillery with your pup. Organizers will offer Watermelon Pup-tinis for the pooches! The distillery added an outside bar so you don’t have to find a dog sitter in order to get your dog-themed cocktails!

Hip-Hop Week Events:
Hip-Hop Week MKE is a community-wide awareness event fueled by the celebration of the Hip-Hop culture through music, art, informative discussions, wellness, violence, civic engagement, financial literacy and health. For information on events, click here.
