Hey Milwaukee!

Catch the energy at 414loral Farmers Market and spend some time with the people and pups who make our neighborhood feel like home.

Meet Olyver & Co, say hello to a few adoptable buddies, sip something refreshing from Love Café, and grab a juicy hot dog from Uncle Wolfie’s Glizzy Cart.

Create your own bouquet at the BYO Bouq Bar — a fun bonus, even though we all know the real stars of the day are the four‑legged friends stealing hearts left and right.

🐾 Dog Etiquette:

Help us keep the vibes good for everyone:
Let pups approach you, give them space when they need it, and be mindful of their comfort. Respectful energy keeps the whole market flowing smoothly.

🎨 FEATURE FRIDAY — BRONZEVILLE BRUSH SPOTLIGHT

Today we’re highlighting Terrell Morgan, the artist behind this week’s interactive Bronzeville BRUSH installation on the vacant Historic GRANTS Building at MLK & North Ave.

Ego turned an empty corner of the district into a living canvas — inviting neighbors to step in, add their mark, and experience creativity in motion. It’s the kind of activation that brings Bronzeville’s spirit to life: bold, collaborative, and rooted in community imagination.

Thank you for sharing your art with us 🧡
