Milwaukee, WI— River Rhythms, downtown’s destination for music on Wednesday evenings welcomes Copper Box this week  to celebrate the world’s largest German dancing competition, Gaufest, which is being hosted in Downtown Milwaukee. The free concert series takes place from 6:30-9 p.m. every Wednesday until August 26th in Pere Marquette Park on Old World Third St. between State and Kilbourn.

In celebration of the Gauverband NordAmerika national German Dance Competition in Milwaukee this week, River Rhythms plays host to German band Copper Box! The event will also feature an authentic German beer and light food at the Hofbrau Beer Garden in the park. Please note, patrons are invited to stay later in the park this week as the band will perform until 10pm.

Copper Box is native to Oshkosh, Wisconsin and has been touring for years now statewide. The group is a mix of polka, rock and blues influence. According to the band’s website, “Copper Box creates a musical medley of American rhythms.”
