Who We Are

The Historic Third Ward Association is a nonprofit membership organization dedicated to creating

a healthy, inclusive, and thriving neighborhood for everyone who lives, works, and visits the Third

Ward.

 

Our community includes more than 600 businesses, nonprofits, and residents. The HTWA

is supported by a professional staff, a 19-member Board of Directors representing a cross-section

of neighborhood interests, and a strong partnership with Business Improvement District #2.

 

Our members share a love of the Third Ward and a commitment to its continued success. HTWA

membership provides access, influence, and opportunity: access to member-only events and

information; opportunities to engage on neighborhood and public policy issues; and meaningful

ways to connect with neighbors and community leaders.

 

What You'll Get

As an annual member, you’ll be the first to hear about new and upcoming Historic Third Ward events.  Members play an important role in shaping the HTWA’s strategic priorities

and providing input on key programs and issues affecting the neighborhood. We offer multiple

ways to stay informed, get involved, and meet fellow residents, businesses, and community

leaders.

 

Your membership supports public events such as Gallery Night MKE, Christmas in the Ward, and

the Third Ward Art Festival. As a member, you will be invited to exclusive events including the

HTWA’s holiday celebration at the Milwaukee Public Market, our spring Annual Meeting (with

voting rights), and neighborhood networking events. Plus, you’ll receive early access

opportunities for events like our long table dinner, Gather.

 

Members also receive participation opportunities in resident group and public safety meetings, a

complimentary subscription to Milwaukee Magazine, and a Milwaukee Public Market Tuesday

Discount Card.

 

If you are already an HTWA member, thank you for your continued support! Your involvement

helps ensure the Third Ward remains a dynamic and welcoming neighborhood for years to come.
