Fifty years ago this summer, something magical happened at the corner of Water and Erie in the Historic Third Ward. On Sunday, July 4, the M&M Club (124 N. Water St.) opened its doors to the community for the first time.

Over the next 30 years, the M&M was not only part of the rebirth of Milwaukee’s destination neighborhood, but an important part of our local culture, community, and heritage. This fall, we will install a State Historic Marker outside the bar to honor its impact on us all!

Join us on Sunday, July 5, as we celebrate five decades of M&M memories — and the lifetime contributions of Bob Schmidt to Milwaukee — at the 2026 M&M Club Reunion.

We will be presenting a very special award to Bob, who will be joining us in person, all the way from Palm Springs.

NOTE: due to operational challenges, the Tied House declined to host this event. We are grateful to the La Cage team for opening their doors to the community for this special afternoon.

“This weekend, another new bar had its grand opening: M&Ms+, in the same neighborhood as The Inferno and The Wreckr Room. A free buffet was offered and the crowd overflowed into the street. The two bartenders, Lanny and Bob, really put in a day’s work while the ever-popular Jamie Gays served as grand opening hostess.” – GLIB Guide (August 1976)

Sacred Queerness: Earth-Based Spiritual Retreat

This event: Has LGBTQ content, Is LGBTQ hosted, May be of interest to the LGBTQ community || Queer and Trans people are a sacred part of the Earth, always have been, and always will be. We invite LGBTQ+ people of all ages to join four local queer spiritual leaders and land stewards for a two-day, one-night healing retreat at Holy Wisdom Monastery. The retreat will hold time for writing and art, work with the restored prairie and savanna ecosystems that surround the monastery and an exploration of what we hold as sacred.
Recognizing the religious trauma many of us carry, we are defining the “sacred” in this retreat broadly as “that which is bigger than us” – our place in the world, community and how we find profound meaning. Sacred Queerness is open to people of any religious/spiritual path or none and participants will be asked to protect and honor this diversity. In an unsafe and turbulent time, we will strengthen community bonds, connect with the local more-than-human world and affirm our place on Earth.
Please bring a journal and something to write with.
This retreat is for anyone who identifies as a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. LGBTQIA+ people under 18 should attend with a trusted adult, who may be an ally. || $200, scholarships available
