🌟 Celebrating Small Business Week!

At Bank On Greater Milwaukee, we know small businesses are at the heart of strong, thriving communities. From local food vendors to entrepreneurs building their dreams, these businesses create jobs, culture, and opportunity across our city.

We’re proud to highlight some of the incredible small businesses featured at UEDA’s Carnival Milwaukee 2026, where over 25 diverse, locally owned vendors came together to share their talents and flavors with the community. 🍽️

This week and beyond, we encourage you to support small, support local, and invest in the businesses that make Milwaukee unique. View the list of this year's Food Tasting participants here: https://www.uedawi.org/uncategorized/2026-carnival-milwaukee/
