Fair warning: There’s a 100 percent chance of sprinkles on Sunday, April 7. That’s the date for OnMilwaukee’s Donut & Coffee Fest, which will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Historic Turner Hall Ballroom, 1040 N. Vel R. Philips Ave.
During the event, guests will be able to sample sweet creations from a wide variety of doughnut shops and bakeries, get buzzed up on coffee from local purveyors and engage in fun, photo-worthy doughnut-themed activities.
New this year, all VID (Very Important Donut) tickets bring even more value. Ticketholders will not only enjoy early entry to the event at 9 a.m. (with first access to seating), but an event-branded beer glass; one Summerfest General Admission ticket; twelve sampling tickets; a Swag Bag from Gruber Law Offices; one Great Plate, swag from Yelp!; one Wisconsin Bakery & Cafe Book; for those 21+, one Vizzy Mimosa Hard Seltzer. That’s over $60 in value (not including samples)!
The ever-growing list of vendors currently includes scrumptious doughnuts and beverages from these local spots:
AFMG Cafe (vegan doughnuts and dips)
Delicious Bites (baked goods)
Donut Monster (old fashioned & yeasted doughnuts)
Familie Online Bakery
Happy Dough Lucky
Hooch MKE (vegan bakery)
Java Twist (coffee and fruit beverages)
Mochidon (brioche doughnuts)
Prairie Farms
Style Pop Cafe
Sunday Dough
Valentine Coffee Roasters
But wait. We glazed over the best part! All attendees can also commemorate the day with fun photo ops, compete in (or just watch) a donut eating contest sponsored by Summerfest, take advantage of our a-dough-rable photo backdrop and win prizes playing games like Donut Ring Toss, Tic-Tac-Donut or a new challenge from our friends at Bars & Rec.
In the end, the event is gonna be a hole-lotta sweet, sweet fun! But donut delay or you’ll miss all the hole-some deliciousness.
