The 'largest bloody mary festival' is returning to Milwaukee this summer
The Bloody Mary Festival is making its way back to to Milwaukee for the 6th summer.
This year, attendees will enjoy all things bloody mary at the Harley Davidson Museum, according to a March 12 press release. Past iterations of the festival, which is the largest of its kind, have been held at the Aurora Pavilion at Henry Maier Festival Park and the Deer District.
The Bloody Mary Festival will be making stops in six cities in 2025, similar to previous years.
Attendees will sip on some of the best bloody marys across the Badger State, with the chance to vote for their favorite to crown the People's Choice Award winner. A panel of judges will also vote on the best bloody mary in Wisconsin.
'Not only is it a Bloody Mary contest, it's a celebration of small local businesses," said festival organizer Evan Weiss in the release.
Vendors and best bloody mary nominees will be announced a later date.
Location: Harley Davidson Museum, 400 W. Canal St.
Date: Saturday, June 21
