The City of New Berlin is immensely grateful to all who played a pivotal role in making the 56th Annual 4th of July Festival an outstanding success! Your support and active participation have truly made a significant impact, showcasing the spirit of unity and community. Here are some statistics, award winners, and highlights from the Festival!

Congratulations to George Webb Restaurant - New Berlin location, for being New Berlin's July Business of the Month. Did you know that George Webb opened his very first "hamburger parlor" in 1948 in Milwaukee on the corner of Ogden and Van Buren Streets? George's vision was simple: be a friend in the neighborhood by serving good food at fair prices. Be on the lookout for the Mayor's visit video later this month.

Embrace the chance to witness the New Berlin Fire Department Swearing-In ceremony tomorrow (7/19) at 5:00 PM. It's not just an event; it's an opportunity to demonstrate your support and engage with the recently promoted or fresh faces of the New Berlin Fire Department. Join us in celebrating their dedication and commitment!

As we gear up for the new school year, it's important to remember that not all families have the resources to provide their children with the necessary school supplies. This drive is an opportunity to help those in need by providing them with the tools they need to succeed. You can drop off your donations at any of the convenient locations including the New Berlin Food Pantry, New Berlin Recreation Center, New Berlin Library and New Berlin City Hall. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, can make a difference in the lives of children in our community. Let's come together and make this school year a success for everyone.
