The Pabst Theater Group and Kind Oasis, two Milwaukee-based companies deeply invested in the city’s creative and cultural community, announce a new partnership focused on heightening the live show experience with thoughtfully curated, hemp-derived products now available at Pabst Theater Group venues. Concertgoers can now purchase Kind Oasis’s gummies, peanut butter cups, chocolate bars and mints at the venues and experience a fresh way to unwind and enjoy their favorite shows.

The partnership reflects a growing shift in social and entertainment culture, as audiences increasingly seek a wider range of mindful options alongside traditional food and beverage offerings.

“At the Pabst Theater Group, we aren’t solely in the business of selling tickets; we are in the business of creating experiences for those visiting our historic venues and city that reflect the heart and character of Milwaukee,” said Gary Witt, President & CEO of the Pabst Theater Group. “Partnering with Kind Oasis as our ‘Official Kind Vibes Partner’ is a natural extension of that mission. They are a family-run, local business that shares our obsession with hospitality and community. By bringing their plant-based wellness and high-quality hemp products into our venues, we’re offering our fans a unique, modern way to unwind and enjoy the show. It’s another example of how we can work together with local innovators to make Milwaukee a world-class destination for live entertainment, while keeping the experience authentic, local and deeply personal.”

Kind Oasis operates a modern apothecary, cGMP-certified production facility, and an infusion kitchen, with a mission to provide safe, hemp-derived wellness products that are responsibly produced. Its pursuit of quality, authenticity and good vibes makes it a natural partner to the venues that are a touchstone for Milwaukee’s culture and community.

“More people are choosing to be intentional about how they experience live events. Our partnership with Pabst Theater Group reflects a shared commitment to offering thoughtful, responsible alternatives that enhance the moment — so guests can enjoy the music, the energy, and the night on their own terms,” said Shaun Ridder, Brand Operations Manager for Kind Oasis.

To celebrate the partnership and provide a glimpse of the new offerings at the venues, Kind Oasis and the Pabst Theater Group are giving the public the chance to enter and win a “Kind Vibes Prize Pack,” including a $100 gift card for the Pabst Theater Group, a $100 gift card for Bel Air Cantina and a Kind Oasis gift basket of assorted products valued at $375. The contest runs now through January 31, 2026.
