Our Story: A Community Rooted in Arts and Culture

Founded in 2015, FlatLander Festival emerged from a passionate group of Milwaukee residents committed to celebrating and elevating the city's vibrant arts scene. What started as a small gathering has grown into a prominent community event that attracts thousands of visitors each year.

Over the years, we've built strong relationships with local artists, musicians, and cultural organizations. Our goal is to create a space where creativity thrives and the community can come together to enjoy and support Milwaukee's diverse cultural offerings.
