This is the 15th Carnival Milwaukee event and it is truly special.
 
This Friday UEDA will celebrate the life of Bill Johnson, our Executive Director from 2006-2015, who created this seminal event. Bill dreamed of creating a space for people from different walks of life to come together and enjoy all the beauty and diversity our community has to offer - in short, a party with a purpose.
 
Our Food Tasting will have food from some of Bill's favorite local restaurants and caterers - some have been with us every year! There will be a "Bill's Favorites" basket in our raffle, and around the 8:00 hour the musicians will lead us through a celebratory Second Line in honor of Bill and the joyous life he lived. We would love for you all to be there with us for this special night!

Lastly, our annual award will now be known as the
Bill Johnson Bridge Builder Award, because Bill was one of the best "bridge builders" in our community and we could think of no better way to honor him.
