What do you LOVE about King Drive? ❤️

Last month, the Historic King Drive BID welcomed residents, business owners, stakeholders, and community members to our Community Open House as part of the King Drive Corridor Plan process.

Your voice matters. Your ideas matter. Your neighborhood matters.

Hey Milwaukee!

Catch the energy at 414loral Farmers Market and spend some time with the people and pups who make our neighborhood feel like home.

Meet Olyver & Co, say hello to a few adoptable buddies, sip something refreshing from Love Café, and grab a juicy hot dog from Uncle Wolfie’s Glizzy Cart.

Create your own bouquet at the BYO Bouq Bar — a fun bonus, even though we all know the real stars of the day are the four‑legged friends stealing hearts left and right.

🐾 Dog Etiquette:

Help us keep the vibes good for everyone:
Let pups approach you, give them space when they need it, and be mindful of their comfort. Respectful energy keeps the whole market flowing smoothly.
