The Bloody Mary Festival is returning to Milwaukee on August 10 and will be held at the Aurora Pavilion at Henry Maier Festival Park, 200 N. Harbor Drive.

Attendees will be able to try at least 10 of the best bloody marys in Wisconsin and vote for their favorite to help determine the winner of the People's Choice Award.

A panel of judges will hand out an award for the Best Bloody Mary in Wisconsin.

Some Milwaukee-area participants that have been announced so far include Crafty Cow, Fuel Cafe, and Eldr+Rime.
