Sixty-six talented artists from across the Midwest will take to the Victorian gardens of the historic Kneeland-Walker House for the Wauwatosa Historical Society’s 39th annual Firefly Art Fair. The Fair will feature paintings, pottery and ceramics, glass, basketry, jewelry, fiber art, mosaics, photography, pen and ink drawings, metal work and wood. Most artists participate in the Silent Auction. Tickets are $10 (free for children 12 and younger) and may be purchased online or at the door.
The popular “Firefly in Bloom” workshop returns this year, with instruction in floral arranging; a breakfast of donuts, coffee and juice; entrance to the Firefly Art Fair; and the large floral arrangement they create for a ticket price of $60.

There will be live music both days and food from Fatty Patty Food Truck and Miss Molly’s bakery, plus the traditional pie tent.
