Brady Street Festival
On Tuesday, the Brady Street Business Improvement District (BID #11) announced the upcoming Brady Street Festival is set for Saturday, July 29, from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m. This year, the festival will span across Brady Street, from Van Buren Street to Farwell Avenue. Attendees can expect a day filled with local musical acts performing on three outdoor stages, as well as two newly introduced indoor stages.
The festival will offer a wide selection of local food vendors, an array of beverages, and numerous local retail booths for festival-goers to explore during breaks between performances.
Headlining the festival will be the annual Brady Street Babes drag show, a well-known favorite among attendees, and a highly anticipated homecoming performance from a local talent. The Center Stage will feature Klassik at 9:30 p.m., and the East Stage will be headlined by Abby Jeanne from at 10 p.m.
The festivities kick off early in the day, including Dog Yoga at the Smirnoff & Bacardi West Stage at noon. The Fun Zone, located behind the Center Stage, will be managed by Friend Like Me, a Milwaukee-based party and events service. Festival-goers of all ages can enjoy free superhero and princess photo opportunities and youth-focused craft activities from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. The SAINTS dance troupe will also captivate audiences with their high-energy choreography.
