MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- What makes Milwaukee great? Who makes Milwaukee great? What local landmark screams Milwaukee? The Milwaukee Press Club is accepting nominations in celebration of the City of Milwaukee’s upcoming 169th birthday party.
The annual City Birthday Party, hosted by the Milwaukee Press Club, will take place on Thursday, January 29th at the Grain Exchange. This year’s theme is “Milwaukee Made,” a celebration of the products, people and places that make Milwaukee the fantastic city that it is.
Nominations are now being accepted online in three categories – who (individuals), what (products/companies) and where (places) “make” Milwaukee. The nomination period runs through January 9th. Finalists will be listed on the City Birthday Party’s Facebook page, where anyone can decide the winners.
Winners in each category will be announced on January 19th and will be recognized at the City Birthday Party.
Tickets to the party can be purchased for $35 through the Milwaukee Press Club.
