Love Letters to Milwaukee: Submissions

Milwaukee has always looked best after dark.

On August 21st, NEWaukee invites you to experience Milwaukee the way it deserves to be seen: in motion, in color, and in full creative bloom. Starting at sunset, guests travel the Riverwalk through immersive installations, live content studios, projection-mapped environments, and unexpected moments of performance and connection.

This is a showcase of what's possible when storytelling meets place.

Come see what Milwaukee looks like when the lights come on.
