MILWAUKEE — You know summer is on the way when beer gardens start opening and the Chill on the Hill lineup gets released!
The Bay View Neighborhood Association shared the lineup Wednesday for the 18th Chill on the Hill season. It kicks off on June 6 and will run through Aug. 29.
If you've never been to Chill on the Hill, it happens every Tuesday night at the Humboldt Park Band Chalet. Visitors are welcome to bring blankets, chairs, drinks, and snacks to the hill where they can sit and enjoy live entertainment.
Show time is 6:30 p.m. every Tuesday.
“Chill on the Hill has a long history of showcasing original music from local musicians. We are very proud of the diverse groups and sounds that will be at Humboldt Park Chalet this summer,” said Patty Thompson, Executive Producer of Chill on the Hill. “This event is designed to meet the mission of the Bay View Neighborhood Association by connecting neighbors for a better Bay View!"
Chillers will sit on the hill between the Band Chalet and the Vibe Beer Garden, but Park Road will also be closed between Howell Avenue and Idaho Street to make room for food vendors and guests.
