Think festival season is nearing its conclusion? Think again! Milwaukee and its surrounding suburbs still have literally dozens of festivals, block parties, and other civic celebrations in store between now and late September. In fact, one of the region’s tastiest undertakings is still a few weeks away.
On Saturday, September 13, a stretch of Oakland Avenue will be closed down to serve as the site of the 6th annual Shorewood Feast. The “family-friendly foodie event”—which is put on by the Shorewood Business Improvement District—offers attendees of all ages an abundance of food options and nine hours of fun (noon to 9 p.m.) between the 4200 block and the 4400 block of Oakland Ave.
In terms of entertainment offerings alone, there will be face painting, a caricature artist, balloon creations, and a stilt walker. Oh, and there’s also going to be two stages worth of music (including one sponsored by Milwaukee Record!), featuring performances by an eclectic local lineup. Here’s the lineup and schedule for that!
Main Stage Lineup
12:00 p.m. — Evan Christian
2:00 p.m. — Soul Patrol
3:30 p.m. — The Exotics
5:30 p.m. — Extra Crispy Brass Band
7:30 p.m. — The LoveMonkeys
Locals Stage Lineup
12:00 p.m. — Milwaukee Irish Dance Studio
1:15 p.m. — School Of Rock Shorewood
2:30 p.m. — Kyle Feerick Band
4:00 p.m. — The Flood
Beyond the entertainment options on hand, Shorewood Feast will have more than 30 area artists, makers, and other retail vendors set up and selling their goods. And it wouldn’t be a “Feast” without a bounty of food vendors. In addition to the Harvest Dinner served to a limited number of paying diners on the massive 125-seat table set up on the street, people can choose their own eating adventure by picking up food from any of these participating food purveyors (and more TBA).
