Milwaukee's Silver Linings

What's Your Silver Lining?

Our Milwaukee community is resilient. Amid the challenges of the past year, we not only rolled with the punches, but also thought outside of the box and invented new ways to thrive. We found the silver linings.

Maybe the past year gave you a new perspective that changed your outlook on life.
Maybe you tried something new.
Maybe you invested time in yourself, your relationships, or your community like never before.

We want to know. Milwaukee Downtown welcomes you to share your own silver linings with us so we can learn from one another and continue to move forward together. 

Share your story for a chance to win $250 in downtown gift cards. Note: giveaway has closed.
