Across from the market, The Friends of the Oak Creek Library will host a book sale and kid-friendly games will take place in the library.

Kristin Craig, Destination Marketing Specialist for the City of Oak Creek, is excited to bring even more interactive activities to the event: “New this year, we have horse-drawn carriage rides, a petting zoo and slap shot hockey. Attendees can enjoy activities in the square or stop inside the Civic Center for even more fun! There is something for everyone to enjoy.

” Milwaukee Airwaves will DJ the event and attendees can grab a bite to eat from Milwaukee Pretzel Company, Juniors BBQ, The Gouda Girls, or one of the many great restaurants in Drexel Town Square. Valentine Coffee will have warm drinks on-site and Cubanitas will be serving from their ice bar.
