“Each year, the Juneau Beer Garden brings more people together, and it’s become a true summer staple for Milwaukee. We’re proud to see it grow, and we can’t wait to raise a glass (non-alcoholic or not!) with the community once again.”
Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley
“Our Milwaukee County beer gardens offer a great setting to enjoy a beverage with friends and neighbors,” said Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley. “As a key part of the Milwaukee County Parks system, our beer gardens not only bring people together, but also generate vital revenue to support operations and future investments. I’m excited for another season of fun at Milwaukee County’s beer gardens. Cheers!”

“Juneau Beer Garden returns for its third season as a go-to summer spot in the heart of Milwaukee. Milwaukee County Parks is proud to bring back this lively gathering place where friends and family can unwind with a drink and soak up the beauty of Milwaukee.”

“The greatest season in Milwaukee is upon us – Beer Garden Season! Third Space Brewing looks forward to creating a fun and welcoming “third space” in Juneau Park this summer by sponsoring a great slate of live music Friday and Saturday nights in the beer garden. Nothing says Milwaukee summer like a cold pint of Happy Place while listening to great local music in our parks.”
