JANE'S WALK MKE 2020 HAS BEEN CANCELED UNTIL MAY 2021. ​ BUT WE STILL HAVE MULTIPLE WAYS THIS MAY TO SEE YOUR CITY WITH NEW EYES. ​ May 2020 would have been the 5th anniversary of Jane’s Walk MKE. We are canceling our full month of public walks, bikes, runs, paddles, rolls, and community gatherings until May 2021, but we’re not going to let COVID-19 deter us from sharing the city and county we love with you. We'll just have to do it while being physically distant and responsible for the safety and health of everyone to help “flatten the curve” of this pandemic. This year, we were inspired by Priya Parker's The Art of Gathering. Defining gathering as a "conscious bringing together of people for a reason," Parker's book helped us choose a “bold, sharp purpose” for each neighborhood exploration and event we hosted: to vision and revision Milwaukee and its neighbors in 20/20. Since the pandemic's spread, however, we've all been forced to revise how and where we gather. Therefore, Jane's Walk MKE is offering multiple opportunities to still explore the city and connect socially (i.e., virtually):​​​
