WAUWATOSA — TosaFest, voted one of Milwaukee’s best street festivals, says spirits have not been dampened in the Village of Wauwatosa following historic floods, and the festival will go on as scheduled.
TosaFest, held in the Village of Wauwatosa, is scheduled to take place on Friday, Sept. 5th, from 5 p.m. until 11 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 6th, from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m.
The Wauwatosa Village Business Improvement District hopes the festival will celebrate and support the community in the wake of recent flooding.
“The Village is open for business, and right now our flood recovery depends on continued traffic to our shops and restaurants,” says Maria Panno, Executive Director of the Wauwatosa Village Business Improvement District. “We hope TosaFest will be a chance to celebrate and support what makes Tosa great: Unique shopping and dining and a community spirit that can’t be broken by a little water.”
TosaFest will feature live music on three different stages, four beer gardens, a ‘Spritzgarden,’ various food trucks, and marketplace vendors, unique TosaFest VIP dining and art experiences. The street festival will also have a Kids Zone featuring free inflatables and much more!
Visitors can get excited for a music lineup that will not disappoint! The Crivello Nichols & Hall State Street Stage will host 80s New Wave tribute band ‘Radio Radio’ on Friday, Sept 5, and rock and roll party band ‘Something To Do’ on Saturday, Sept. 6. The music does not stop there; check out the full musical lineup.
New this year, TosaFest is offering VIP Experiences. Options include a ‘Sunset Picnic for two,’ with The Village Cheese Shop, a Cribbage Tournament on Sept. 6, and a Friday Night Fish Fry with French restaurant Le Reve.
