Morgan Park Picnic

On Saturday, May 24, the inaugural “Morgan Park Picnic” will take place at—you guessed it!—Morgan Park. From noon to 6 p.m., the eponymous park will play host to a family-friendly festival that will offer a winning mix of live entertainment, local food trucks, Wisconsin craft beer (and other refreshments), and area retailers set up in and around the triangle. Milwaukee alt-country outfit Ladybird will headline the event, with Latin fusion artist El Sebas, indie rockers Scam Likely, and an open yoga session from Healium also scheduled to take the stage over the course of the day.

Busby’s will curate an impressive blend of beverages from local breweries to sell on site, which will be served by volunteers raising money for community organizations including Fernwood Montessori School, Bay View Bash, and Bay View High School Gay Straight Alliance. Guests can also enjoy food from Flour Girl & Flame, Pallino Burger, Not Bad Food, and Trouble Makers Cocina, all of which will be nestled against the park on Kinnickinnic Ave. Directly across the park, a wide range of local vendors, makers, artists, and organizations will be set up along Pennsylvania Ave.
