We are celebrating the inaugural year of Jazz At The Vine!
We want to thank everyone who came out to enjoy the Jazz at the Vine series.
A huge thank you to the Humboldt Park Friends and Milwaukee County Parks for making Jazz at the Vine a reality.
We put on four performances featuring some of Milwaukee’s premiere jazz artists on the last Thursday night of May, June, July, and August at the Humboldt Park Beer Garden and we had great crowds for all of the nights.
Corn Roast 2022 was a great success!
We want to thank everyone who came out and helped support the park with some very tasty sweet corn. Our volunteers roasted and served up 8 cases or 384 ears of corn. A big thank you to everyone who volunteered to help make this year’s corn roast a great event.
