Washington Park Wednesdays (Concert Series)
WMSE is proud to support Washington Park Wednesdays (Concert Series). The eight-week series brings live music and other events to the historic bandshell in a beautiful West Side setting.
The park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted who also designed Central Park in New York City, has been a landmark of Milwaukee since the 1890s. A bandshell sits at the center of the park, a lofty half-dome flanked by pillars and overlooked by rows of seating. This stage is put to use throughout the summer hosting Washington Park Wednesdays, an annual eight-week free-admission series.
The series is the project of the Washington Park Neighbors nonprofit organization who spend most of the year planning the program. Each week has a focus and features musical artists, activities and vendors that relate.
