Last June, Locust Street Festival of Music and Art made its triumphant return to Riverwest after being absent from Milwaukee’s summer festival calendar since 2019. Happily, that streak will continue when Locust Street Festival comes back on Sunday, June 9 for its 45th installment.
As always, live music, oodles of food and retail vendors, and, yes, the 1.6-mile Beer Run will all be featured in the festival, which will run from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. (The Beer Run kicks off at 11:30 a.m.) Want to know who’s playing? Of course you. Here’s the musical lineup!
