This event raises money for programs that work with Milwaukee youth to get them biking more and learning important job skills.

Local vendors are on hand to give you great deals on holiday shopping for the bike rider in your life!

The Milwaukee Bike Bazaar is in its 9th year (formerly known as the Milwaukee Bike Swap!) and has consistently grown in attendance each year since its inception. Created to attract local bike enthusiasts to both buy, sell and swap everything from full bikes to clothing to antique parts, 2015 saw over 600 people attend the event!

In 2016, we are broadening our offerings to include recycled bike arts/crafts, re-purposed materials and other bike related gift items. This event benefits two Milwaukee Public Schools and Wisconsin Bike Fed youth initiatives, Valid Bike Shop at North Division High School and Milwaukee MTB High School racing team.
