Every year, on the 4th month and the 14th day Milwaukee celebrates "414 Day," a nod to both the date (4/14) and our city's area code (414).  And this year, as we move towards the light at the end of the pandemic's tunnel, there's a lot to celebrate.

Here are some events happening on Wednesday to celebrate 414 Day. We will update this list regularly as we find out about more happenings.

Round-Robin Activity Event 

The team behind activity bars AXE MKE, NorthSouth Club, Nine Below, Splash Studio and newest concept Head Space Trivia, is celebrating 414 Day in an immersive round-robin style event. Attendees, reserved in groups of four, will axe throw, shuffleboard, paint and enter a hole-in-one challenge for the fitting price of $14 per person.  Plus, $4.14 cocktails and beers will also be available. The event starts at 7 p.m. Reservations are available here

Livestream Yoga

Helium Hot Yoga hosts a donation-based livestream of a one-hour Vinyasa Flow yoga class set to a soundtrack featuring Milwaukee musicians. The class begins at 9 a.m. A recording of the class will also be available for those who register but are unable to make the real-time class. The cost is "pay what you can" and a portion of the proceeds will benefit Escuela Verde, a public charter school operated by TransCenter for Youth. Go here for more.
