To our Milwaukee Bloody Mary Fest family 🍅

Sadly, the Fest won’t happen in Milwaukee this year. We just couldn’t get the dates with our other cities + our local venue to align. We’re sorry, we know many of you look forward to this event, as do we! We’ll miss you this year, Milwaukee.❤️

We’re already looking forward to making new memories with you in 2027. Until then… Cheers!

Love, Evan, Yunna, Laura & The Bloody Mary Fest Crew

Portland, you know them, you love them. 🌲
has taken home the “Best Bloody Mary” award more times than anyone else in Portland Fest history. Year after year, they show up - from over-the-top crawdad garnishes to a buttermilk biscuit + egg sammie on top.
The question is… do they do it again? 👀
