Returns Sat February 8, 2025
and Sat February 15, 2025!
Imagine a Milwaukee where people enjoy all 4 seasons, not just summer. We need something to look forward to after the holidays have ended, but the grey skies have not. People deserve an opportunity to find joy in being in nature and moving their bodies safely in the cold.
Winter Break is a free outdoor event for all ages, experience levels, bodies, and genders. It promotes gentle outdoor recreation in an approachable way. This event goes on no matter the weather. If we have snow and ice, that unlocks more activities!

Day of Event Volunteers
Event volunteers can help with setting up, cleaning up, directing attendees, or even shoveling snow. You would be part of the team keeping attendees safe, happy, and having fun. If you don't mind being out in the cold, you’re outgoing and accepting of all, and you enjoy the excitement of an event, this is the spot for you.
Winter Break 2024 was a success.
