Remember Asian Moon Festival? For the past two years, Milwaukee has
lacked an Asian cultural festival. This September, Silver City Main Street is
bringing the East to West National Avenue. The Main Street Milwaukee District,

festival to celebrate the Asian heritage. Silver City’s Asian Festival: East Meets
