May the Fourth be with you, Waukesha County!

Whether you’re raising a young Jedi or just looking for a fun way to kick off the week, there’s plenty happening tonight, from Star Wars Trivia at the library in Hartland to Star Wars Bingo over at 120 on Wisconsin. It’s one of those nights where the community comes out, families connect, and a little friendly competition makes everything more fun.

And the good times don’t stop there, Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner, bringing a mix of margaritas, music, and celebration. From a hands-on Margarita Workshop in Waukesha to a lively line dance party at Shotzy’s in Oconomowoc, plus a Paint & Sip event on Wednesday and a Silent Disco to close things out on Thursday, this week is packed with ways to get out, try something new, and enjoy everything our local community has to offer.

It’s all about bringing the community together, discovering new favorites, and showing some love to the small businesses that make this area special.

New Jersey Mike's Subs in Oconomowoc

🥪 A Fresh New Spot in Oconomowoc

Jersey Mike’s Subs has officially landed in Oconomowoc, and it’s more than just a sandwich shop.

After opening their doors on April 8, local owners Gavin and Kaitlyn Holland are already making an impression, not just with great subs, but with a genuine commitment to the community. The couple moved to Oconomowoc last summer and quickly fell in love with the area, and now they’re excited to give back in a big way.

Having spent nearly a decade working their way up within Jersey Mike’s, they’re passionate about creating opportunities for their team while serving up the fresh, made-to-order subs the brand is known for. But what really stands out is their mindset: “We give to give, not give to get.” ❤️

That means you’ll likely see them involved in local fundraisers, events, and community initiatives all summer long, so this is one of those spots you can feel good about supporting.

And if you’ve already been a fan, there’s a good chance you’ve visited one of their other local spots in Brookfield, Delafield, or Johnson Creek, making this new Oconomowoc location an easy (and welcome) addition for nearby residents.

A Fun & Flavor-Packed Cinco de Mayo Night

This interactive workshop is perfect for anyone who loves a good margarita (or wants to learn how to make one really well). You’ll dive into Margarita Mixology 101, learning the art of balancing flavors while creating and tasting your way through four different margarita recipes. Plus, you’ll enjoy one full margarita and a flight of three, so yes, you’ll leave happy.

To keep things festive, the night also includes complimentary tapas like tiny tacos, burritos, and Mexican street corn, because great drinks deserve great food.
