POPESFEST A SUCCESS

On October 1, Pius XI hosted the first annual Popesfest — a food, beer, music, and arts festival for parents, students, alumni, and the larger Milwaukee community. We’d like to extend a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to all the attendees, organizers, volunteers, sponsors, and alumni who made the event possible. We were ecstatic to see so many friendly and familiar faces dedicated to helping the school thrive so that our Popes are set up for success in the future.

Popesfest 2022 was a day of family fun that raised over $28,000 for the school, and celebrated our Popes-owned businesses, artists and makers, and entertainers.

In addition to delicious food and drinks from vendors such as Maxie’s, Egg & Flour, Broken Bat, Eagle Park, and more, local bands Time Out, Wonderful Bluffer, and Stray Voltage performed live music as guests indulged in many fun activities. Some lucky students even got to watch their teachers take a turn in the dunk tank!
