Community Calendar

Hunger Task Force is returning to American Family Field with CBS 58 and Brewers Community Foundation for our annual Thanksgiving Drive-Thru Food Drive! We will again collect turkeys, healthy food donations and cash donations to feed seniors, families, and children this holiday season. Drive-thru anytime on Friday, November 22, from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Donations of healthy, non-perishable foods—particularly healthy breakfast cereal, canned low-sodium vegetables and fruit in 100 percent juice—are especially important this time of year to stock Hunger Task Force’s food bank as are frozen turkey donations for family holiday dinner tables.

Drive-Thru donors will receive a Freddy Peralta soccer jersey plus additional giveaway items, while supplies last.

The 81st Holiday Folk Fair International will be held Fri., Nov. 22 – Sun., Nov. 24, 2024, at the Exposition Center at Wisconsin State Fair Park in West Allis, Wis.

A program of the International Institute of Wisconsin (IIW), Holiday Folk Fair International celebrates the cultural heritage of the people living in southeastern Wisconsin. This year’s theme, “Celebrate the Culture of Traditional Art,” will allow Fairgoers to explore how traditional art represents one’s cultural heritage, as it conveys traditions, values, and beliefs.

“Traditional art embodies painting, pottery, sculpture, textiles, metalwork, and many other mediums,” said Dr. Paul F. Trebian, President and CEO of the IIW. “These activities, practiced by groups of people within the world’s cultures, will never go out of style, as they promote diversity and inclusion.

“The Holiday Folk Fair International allows cultures to showcase their heritage and traditions. As we foster an environment of learning, understanding, respect, and tolerance, visitors will find within themselves the qualities to shape their lives and that of their community,” said Trebian. “The communities we call home help to provide an identity and a sense of belonging. They allow us to discover who we are, as our culture shapes our identity and influences our behavior.”

Special attractions include invited international performers and artisans, photographic exhibits, the Artisan Corner, the Dirty Kettle Native American interactive display, the Wisconsin Woodturners, a Children’s Area presented by Leafguard, and a bonsai exhibit.

The three-day event features the All Nations Theater with traditional music and dance; the World Café offering traditional dishes; the Tanzhauz, where attendees dance and sing along with a variety of musical stylings; the Coffee House, where patrons enjoy a beverage and baked goods while listening to talented musicians; Heritage Lane with unique traditions and customs through interactive exhibits; the International Bazaar, where cultural artifacts create a unique shopping experience; and the American Culinary Federation Chef’s Stage presented by TightSeal Exteriors and Baths featuring local chefs preparing traditional cuisine.

Hours will be 2 p.m. – 9 p.m. on Fri., Nov. 22; 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. on Sat., Nov. 23; and 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Sun., Nov. 24.

Advance tickets are available at https://folkfair.org/admission/ – $13 each for eight years old and up. Admission at the gate will be $16 for ages 8 – 61, with children up to age seven admitted at no charge. Those 62 and over will be admitted for $14, and all military personnel with a military ID card will be admitted free.
