If there’s something that Milwaukee can’t have too many of, it’s beer gardens. Our abundance of designated places where folks can enjoy beverages, snacks, and maybe even live entertainment in an outdoor public setting is one of the things that helps make this region so special in the spring and summer months. In 2023, the city gained yet another beer garden when Third Ward Beer Garden at Catalano Square opened. Following three successful years, it’s returning in a bag way in 2026.
This month, Third Ward Beer Garden at Catalano Square announced the live music lineup that will be taking to its rooftop stage between the months of May and July. The free performances will take place Thursday and Friday night from 5-8:30 p.m. and from 3-6:30 p.m. on Saturdays. The series kicks off on May 1 with a performance by Ben Harold. Subsequent performers include Donna Woodall, Tim Wright, Jesse Voelker, Sam Guyton, and many more.
