All summer long we have many festivities in Milwaukee. To name a few in the summer, we have River Rhythms at Pere Marquette Park from June 3- August 26th, Jazz in the Park at Cathedral Square Park June 4 – September 24, Riversplash June 5 - 7, Summerfest June 25 to July 5, State Fair, Fireworks, and movies at the park, even cultural festivities at Henry Maier Festival Park . I did not name all the festivities and it did not include the neighboring community’s activities.
Now that summer is near its end, that does not mean that our festivities are at an end. In September, we finish our summer with more jazz festivals in the surrounding areas and at Maier festival grounds Indian Summer will be held on September 11 – 13. Also, Harvest Festival in Cedarburg, WI and Harvest Fair at State Fair Park to name a few..
We have fun in Milwaukee and all its counties. Many visitors from out of state come here to participate with us. If you are bored and have nothing to do, come to Milwaukee and there will be something for you to do at any time of year. Keep in mind, once summer ends we go on to the next festivities! In Milwaukee, we always have something brewing.
If you are ever in town and do not know where to go, contact me and I will help advise you.

This Friday, June 12th, I will once again volunteer for an event I look forward to all year long, the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse
. This year the event I am volunteering at is “RAISE A GLASS TO HOPE” GARDEN COCKTAIL PARTY, sponsored by AirTran Airways, Friday, June 12, at the Showhouse, 6 to 9 p.m.
Come tour this year’s Showhouse and join me for an evening in the garden with drinks, including a specialty cocktail, light fare, and silent auction as we Raise a Glass to Hope. Reservations are $60 per person.
I love this event for the good it does for cancer research. I also love the format of the event. Bringing artists and designers to great Milwaukee homes and showcasing their marvelous talents. We should be proud as Milwaukeeans to see the wide array of talents right here in our own community. One of the artists I know is showing her artwork in the Boutique, Paula Christensen of Paula’s Palette. The Showhouse Boutique is Sponsored by M&I Bank.
Visit the boutique before or after your tour for unique treasures from favorite past vendors and exciting new ones. Take this opportunity to shop for the holidays, birthdays, and other celebrations. Open for the Preview Party and during Showhouse hours. Also open to the public without a ticket.

In Ozaukee County on June 12 - 14 Thiensville Park will hold Lionfest. Thiensville is a village in the heart of Mequon. The size is one mile by one mile. Thiensville Park is lush and boarders the Milwaukee river. It is a small town with predominately single family homes and quite quaint. At this festival neighboring residents and guests from afar enjoy food, drinks and live entertainment. Even amusement rides and games. It is fun and relaxing and quite a lovely site to see people reunite and be proud of their area.

Summer is finally here and the Shorewood Men’s Club will hold its 38th Annual Chicken Bar-B-Q on Saturday, June 13. The event is held at Atwater Park and people come from all around to this event. Atwater Park is at the top of a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. Below the bluff is Atwater beach and at this event the sandy beach is opened for summertime enjoyment. It is such a nice day. People come with their blankets and sit by one another and enjoy the weather and live music. 
The Men’s club has ¼ chicken dinners for $7, ½ chicken for $9, whole meal deal for $19, whole chicken that is prepared and freezer wrapped for $14 All meals except the freezer packed one comes with potato salad and corn bread. How Yummy. They also have dessert stands, beverages, and take-out orders. The event feels like a small town in an urban setting.
