Step right up and prepare to be dazzled — this New Year’s Eve, Gatsby MKE presents The Midnight Circus, an opulent twist on the Roaring Twenties where mystery meets spectacle. Immerse yourself in the glitz and glamour of the jazz age, where the champagne flows freely, the lights shimmer bright, and the music never stops.

About Gatsby MKE:
The event will take place at the iconic The Trade, the official hotel of Deer District.
Guests will have access to Solomon's Cocktail Lounge, the majestic Founders Ballroom, and two stunning terraces overlooking Fiserv Forum and downtown Milwaukee.
The space will be transformed into a Gatsby-themed, art-deco dreamland infused with the magic of The Midnight Circus — where roaring-20s elegance meets theatrical wonder.
