Milwaukee’s Southside is home to Birrieria La Tia Juana, a food truck owned by Karla Martinez and her husband Cristian. The couple is eagerly preparing for the upcoming Republican National Convention, which will take place this summer in Milwaukee.
One of the main focuses of the event preparations is showcasing the city’s unique businesses, and Karla is excited to be part of it. She believes that it’s an excellent opportunity for small businesses like theirs to shine and connect with a broader audience.
Karla and Cristian have been trying to get involved in events for over a year now, but they struggled to find the right platform until Convention Fest came along. This four-day event, held outside the Baird Center, will feature over 100 vendors showcasing their work just steps away from the RNC venue.
Both the Host Committee and the RNC emphasize that Convention Fest aims to provide a true representation of what Milwaukee has to offer. It’s an inclusive event open to all, regardless of political affiliations. Karla eagerly applied to be part of Convention Fest, hoping that it will give her business a significant boost.
Applications for Convention Fest are due by May 22nd, and those interested in participating can find more information on it. The event is seen as a new and exciting opportunity for small businesses like Birrieria La Tia Juana to connect with a broader audience and showcase what they have to offer.
