Waukesha Unlocked will be held every other year! Save the date for October 12 and 13, 2024! The doors to businesses, organizations, churches and City buildings will be open for you to take tours, participate in special activities, learn and explore! It’s a special weekend for you to participate in over 90 different opportunities and see “behind the scenes” in Waukesha.
