Thanks to all our guests, friends & supporters for making the 2012 Carnival Milwaukee our best yet!
Carnival Milwaukee is a party with a purpose – on Saturday, February 25th over 225 guests joined UEDA and enjoyed food from around the world and music by De La Buena that kept them dancing all night. Guests were dressed in costumes and cultural attire, raffles, games and other carnival entertainment. Take a look at photos from this year’s Carnival - it’s an event not to be missed!
