Milwaukee Highland Games
- Saturday, June 8
- Croatian Park
- 9100 S. 76th St., Franklin
A celebration of Scottish culture, the Highland Games features bagpipe bands, highland and other traditional dancing, a working sheepdogs demonstration, Scottish cuisine (there’s even a haggis taco eating contest) and an activity area for children. The biggest and brawniest spectacle of the event is the games themselves—traditional Scottish challenges like the light and heavy Scottish hammer throw contest categories, or the caber toss, which is essentially lifting up and tossing a giant pole.
The festival gates open at 9 a.m., with the last scheduled event at 5 p.m., general admission is $15. More info: milwaukeehighlandgames.org
Full Moon Yoga and Soundbath on the Beach

With some decent weather finally upon us, it’s time to find inspiration outdoors. MKE Yoga Social has created a yoga and soundbath series at Bay View Park (in St. Francis) on the beach that syncs up with the full moon. The session starts with an all-levels lunar sequence yoga flow led by Jessica Hope, followed by a soundbath guided by Adagio Sound Healing Therapy. The full moon session returns July 11, August 8, and September 7.

Brett Daniels: Pure Magic
- June 14-August 30
- Broadway Theatre Center
- 158 N. Broadway
Las Vegas World Champion Brett Daniels, a Milwaukee native, returns here for the first time in decades with a new show taking up residency at the Broadway Theatre Center’s Studio Theatre every Saturday this summer. The illusionist has developed an award-winning career performing in Vegas, on network shows like NBC’s “World’s Greatest Magic,” and at venues as far away as the Sydney Opera House. Here, he will perform a more intimate show.
“After a career performing some of the most original large-scale illusions known to the craft, Brett now promises to bring that same dedication to a new show comprised of pure sleight-of-hand, magnificent free-flying birds, mind-bending mentalism, and original stage magic mysteries,” his show description reads.
The performances are every Saturday June 14-August 30 at 4 p.m. Tickets range from $31.98-$42.77 and can be bought here: cart.broadwaytheatrecenter.com/overview/brett-daniels
