Silver City Mobile InterNational Festival
Saturday, September 12th, 2020
Set Route going through Silver City, Burnham Park, and Layton Park
LBWN invites you to the 9th Annual Silver City InterNational Festival on Saturday, September 12th. This year in lieu of a big street festival, we’re bringing the festival to the people. We are reworking the festival into a parade of small floats traveling a set path in the Silver City Neighborhood, each with live music from past Festival acts. To incorporate the multicultural food aspect of the festival we plan to work with local businesses to create Silver City InterNational takeout specials at various locations throughout the near south side.
Plans for the festival are subject to change in accordance to community health and safety regulations in Milwaukee.
