The Annual Picnic, Summer Sizzle, gives residents of Martin Drive an opportunity to connect with neighbors.  


​​Being active and interacting with your neighbors is a central part of community life in the Martin Drive Neighborhood.

Neighbors in the Martin Drive Neighborhood have an annual picnic on the second Saturday in August, from Noon to 4 at our Community Gardens and Pavilion 1335 N 46 Street. This year along with great food and over 80 neighbors, we enjoyed guest appearances from elected officials, resources from Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee Police, and Milwaukee Firefighters. Children enjoyed face painting, games, checking out the firetruck and squad (horses), and great food that neighbors brought to the picnic. Thank you for the work on the Garden and Arlene, Charlotte, Mary, Sharon, and Raymond for organizing the picnic. 2024 PICNIC PHOTOS
