Free and family friendly event. This is a celebration of Milwaukee’s water for all people.

Come appreciate Milwaukee’s special place on the Great Lakes and our abundance of fresh water.

Milwaukee Water Commons is celebrating 10 years of programming and collaboration with our community partners to make our waterways safer more accessible and welcoming to all.

We Are Water 2024 will feature art, activities, drumming music and dancing.

We will be making percussive instruments to be used during the program. There will be a wide array of activities hosted by many of our community partners.

The evening capstone to this event is the magical illuminated community art creation in the sand accompanied by drumming and dancing.
