25 of the city's best spellers are ready to compete. Come cheer them on, drink, or participate in a warm-up round and see how you fare.

OnMilwaukee's 5th annual Adult Spelling Bee, takes place Friday, February 13, 2026, at The Cooperage, 822 S. Water St. at 7 p.m. (Doors open at 6pm).

Pre-registered fastidiously persnickety spellers will compete for bragging rights, the coveted Bee bobblehead and a prize pack from Yelp! Registration for spellers has closed.

Tickets to attend are $30 and include a Topo Chico from Molson-Coors, Potawatomi Casino | Hotel Match Play and an Outpost Natural Foods goodie bag.

A few audience members who wish to participate will be randomly selected at the event to compete for fun in a warm-up round.
