MILWAUKEE — Summer is truly ending. Not just because we are past Labor Day, school has started, or meteorological fall has begun. None of those reasons. It's because all the summer concert series are starting to end. Thursday night was the last night of Jazz in the Park.
To cap off a summer of song, Jazz in the Park played host to Goth Barge, a DJ set dedicated to goth music. In total, there were 12 musical acts at Jazz in the Park this summer.
The summer concert series, organized by the East Town Association, has been going on since 1991. This year featured a new addition to the Cathedral Square festivities. Before the music started, there was a farmers and makers market in the park.
"Oh it's been amazing we brought the market over starting at 3 (in the afternoon). Next year we'll start a little later at 4. But it's been kizmit. We've gotten great feedback from participants, from vendors. Some of them signed up for just the first half in the beginning of the year, and now all of them stay all night," Tammy Bockhorst, the executive director of the East Town Association said.
Other weekly concert series ending soon are Harley Bike Nights and Chill on the Hill.
