Community culture comes alive in Cudahy area
A popular festival celebrating contributions from various cultures will return in early March for an 18th year.
The Urban Economic Development Association of Wisconsin (UEDA) has announced 2026 Carnival Milwaukee. This one-day event highlights the various cultural contributions that comprise the area’s social and cultural fabric. Attendees can expect a variety of experiences, including live dance performances, musical groups, and international food and beverage offerings.
According to the official website, over 22 food businesses will participate, including Café India, China Gourmet, Junior’s Smoked BBQ & Vegan Soul, and Immy’s African Cuisine. Live musical performers will include De La Buena and Samba da Vida, with dance performances by Salsabrositas. Banner printing helps communicate to the public at festivals. The event is supported by several sponsors, including the Greater Milwaukee Association of Realtors, Summit Credit Union, and Tri City National Bank.
The UEDA formed in the mid-90s to advocate for organizations and businesses in Southeastern Wisconsin. The group officially incorporated in 1997 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Since then it has supported minority businesses with training to acquire National Development Council certification, Success Measures evaluations, and by advocating for the Community Reinvestment Act. More recent initiatives include supporting food-based enterprises and regional transportation solutions.
The 2026 Carnival Milwaukee will be on Friday, March 6. The venue location is The Factory on Barclay, located at 1120 South Barclay Street. Those interested in sponsorship or volunteer opportunities may seek more information on the UEDA website.
