Events on Brady Street, Milwaukee

Brady Street is Milwaukee's historic Italian district, a short, dense strip on the lower East Side packed into a few blocks between the river and Lake Michigan. Coffee houses, vintage shops, corner taverns, Italian groceries, and late-night music rooms sit shoulder to shoulder, and the street has been the city's countercultural hangout since the 1960s. The events on this page are everything our 33 sources see happening on and around Brady Street.

The calendar peaks with the Brady Street Festival each summer, when the whole strip closes to traffic for live bands and food, but there's a steady year-round rhythm of bar shows, trivia nights, and neighborhood gatherings. Tap any event for venue, time, and a one-tap add to calendar.
