Milwaukee, WI – This holiday season, follow the yellow brick road straight to Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward, where Onesto transforms into a technicolor dreamland for one enchanting week. Oz at Onesto, an immersive Wicked-themed pop-up experience, takes over the restaurant’s charming second-floor event space from November 24 through December 1.

Guests will be transported into the land of Oz for a night filled with whimsy, wonder, and a little bit of
wicked fun. Expect vibrant photo ops, wickedly delicious bites, scandalocious cocktails, and surprises
around every corner – including a make-your-own cotton candy cart and a decadent chocolate fountain.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Diageo to bring a little Oz magic to life at Onesto,” said David Kiepert, Manager for Onesto. “Their creativity and premium spirits lineup helped us craft a truly immersive, one-of-a-kind experience that feels as vibrant and whimsical as the world of Wicked itself.”
