EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES
Southside Dining Week wrapped up earlier this week
Southside Dining Week 2023 concluded earlier this week on Saturday, October 7th! A record breaking fifty-two restaurants participated in our third annual Dining Week, making it the largest Southside Dining Week to date!
The week kicked off with the Southside Showcase at Zócalo Food Truck Park on Saturday, September 30th. Event attendees enjoyed music and dance performances from local artists including Emmitt James, Panadanza, and Browns Crew. Plus, the Zócalo Food Truck parking lot was transformed into a vendor village, highlighting a variety of the businesses that call Milwaukee’s south side home – including North Shore Bank!
Throughout the week, the public was encouraged to visit one (or more!) of the participating Southside Dining Week restaurants to get a taste of their incredible cuisine. Each restaurant submitted an existing dish from their menu that cost $15 or less to serve as their “signature dish” for the week.
If you didn’t get the chance to visit one of the restaurants during Southside Dining Week, you can check out the full list of participating restaurants and their signature dishes on SouthsideDiningWeek.com.

Treats were had by all at the Elmbrook Humane Society’s Wagfest
A tail-waggin’ good time was had by all at the Elmbrook Humane Society’s Wagfest on September 9th! North Shore Bank employees volunteered their time and gave back to the community’s furry, four-legged friends at Wagfest.
More than 7,000 community members joined their furry friends for the 15th annual Wagfest, an event that helps raise money for Elmbrook Humane Society. The event offers an opportunity for the pups and their humans to come together as a community to celebrate their bond. 03287 The festival included food, music, shopping, several different raffles, and of course activities for the dogs.
Attendees could pick up a North Shore Bank branded bag at our tent to keep their goodies in, snag a treat for their pup, and take a pup portrait home with them. We always look forward to Wagfest and supporting a wonderful local organization like the Elmbrook Humane Society that gives back to our furry best friends!
A look back at Brady Street Festival as we say goodbye to summer
On Saturday, July 29th, the best street party in Milwaukee, Brady Street Festival, took over Brady Street from Van Buren to Farwell Avenues. North Shore Bank proudly sponsored the Center Stage, which was headlined by singer, rapper, and producer Klassik.
Our employees were out in full force spreading kindness throughout the festival via the North Shore Bank tent. Volunteers manned the booth which encouraged attendees to stop by to write and color in a kindness postcard or share a message of kindness with the community on the “Be Kind” photo wall. These moments of kindness were captured with our Polaroid cameras that allowed attendees to take home a keepsake of their day at the festival.
Thank you to Andrea Bahena, Erika Garcia, Cristen Baumann, Angela Byrd, Quinn Wheeler, Breanna Rooney, Renee Machado, Milene Below, and Steve Luebke for volunteering their time throughout the day to manage the North Shore Bank tent!
