Picture this. It’s a Sunday afternoon that lands sometime between the dates of June 7 and August 30. You’re sitting on a gorgeous, dog-friendly patio in vibrant Walker’s Point. The weather is beautiful. You’re sipping a tasty craft cocktail that was distilled mere yards away and chowing down on a delicious burger from Fox Den as you take in some great local music. Sounds like some kind of wonderful dream, right? Well, it’s not a dream. It’s Great Lakes Distillery‘s Summer Patio Music Series.
As June approaches, the long-running Milwaukee distillery has announced the series’ 2026 lineup. As the name suggests, Summer Patio Music Series features musicians performing out on GLD’s spacious and inviting patio. From 3-6 p.m., listeners can take in tunes from an eclectic array of local acts that includes the likes of Jack Tell, Steve Cohen, Dianna Jones, Hey Tiger, and more.
The fun kicks off the first Sunday in June and continues almost every Sunday through the end of August. The shows are free and dogs are welcome on the patio. Check out the full Summer Patio Music Series lineup below.
