# Event Details

- **Event Name**: M&M Club: the 50th Anniversary Reunion
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 05 Jul, 2026 at 01:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Fifty years ago this summer, something magical happened at the corner of Water and Erie in the Historic Third Ward.  On Sunday, July 4, the M&M Club (124 N. Water St.) opened its doors to the community for the first time. 

Over the next 30 years, the M&M was not only part of the rebirth of Milwaukee's destination neighborhood, but an important part of our local culture, community, and heritage. This fall, we will install a State Historic Marker outside the bar to honor its impact on us all!

Join us on Sunday, July 5, as we celebrate five decades of M&M memories -- and the lifetime contributions of Bob Schmidt to Milwaukee -- at the 2026 M&M Club Reunion.

We will be presenting a very special award to Bob, who will be joining us in person, all the way from Palm Springs.

"This weekend, another new bar had its grand opening: M&Ms+, in the same neighborhood as The Inferno and The Wreckr Room. A free buffet was offered and the crowd overflowed into the street. The two bartenders, Lanny and Bob, really put in a day's work while the ever-popular Jamie Gays served as grand opening hostess." - GLIB Guide (August 1976)
