MILWAUKEE — A free, family-friendly outdoor music series in support of veterans will wrap up its fourth season on Thursday, Aug. 21, at Milwaukee’s lakefront.
“Music in the Garden” will be 6-8 p.m. at the War Memorial Center, 750 N. Lincoln Memorial Drive, featuring music from the band Inner Ally, which bills itself as “good time rock and roll from the ’50s through the ’90s along with original music with layered vocals and strong guitars.”
Presented by the Southeastern Wisconsin Veteran Suicide Prevention Task Force, the series takes place in the War Memorial Beer Garden, northeast of the War Memorial building.
Craft beer and German specialties from Kegel’s Inn will be available for purchase. No outside food or drink is allowed.
Up to 15 classic cars will also be on display at the event. Those interested in having a car on display can register here: War Memorial Center: Music In The Garden – Car Show.
In addition to music and refreshments, the event includes information and resources for veterans and their families. It’s also a great place for veterans to come together and share stories.
“‘Music in the Garden’ has proven to be a popular event for Veterans to connect with each other, renew old acquaintances and enjoy music on the lakefront,” said Dona Drew, co-chairwoman of the Task Force, who noted that July’s event, which featured the U.S. Navy Band Great Lakes, attracted about 275 attendees.
“Over the past four years, this has become an established event for Veterans and the public and a great place for Veterans to learn about the many services available to them,” she said.
