Bronzeville Week, Milwaukee’s annual celebration of our city’s Black culture, history, art and more, is back.

The weeklong series of events takes place within the Bronzeville Cultural and Entertainment District, a cultural and economic zone in the Harambee neighborhood that draws inspiration from Milwaukee’s old Bronzeville neighborhood. This initiative is an effort to keep Black culture alive in and around its historical home in Milwaukee.

Events for this year’s Bronzeville Week begins with the HaRUNbee 5K Walk/Run on Saturday, Aug. 6 through the Bronzeville Art Walk & Afro Caribbean Cultural Celebration on Saturday, Aug. 13.
