Maifest 2026
May 17, 2026 | 10:00 AM-3:00 PM
Lakefront Brewery | Milwaukee, WI
It’s the five-year anniversary of the Midwest’s largest gluten-free festival, Lakefront Brewery’s Maifest! Join us outside Lakefront Brewery Beer Hall on Sunday, May 17th from 10am to 3pm for an expanded version of our popular event, which will spill into Commerce Street and into our auxiliary lot next door for the first time, doubling the festival space.
A dedicated free shuttle service from Schlitz Park down the street (1555 N. River Center Dr.) will be provided during and after the event to accommodate additional parking demands. As producers of New Grist, the country’s first and best selling gluten-free beer, and founders of the CurdWagon all gluten-free food truck, we’ve become well aware of how underserved the regional gluten-free community is. We organized this fest for you to peruse, drink, and eat quality hard-to-find food with confidence.
