Cathedral Square’s sparkling necklace of wide, paved sidewalks, bike racks, benches, waste containers, and trees is officially complete. The tree wells include plantings and so do the corners of the park at Wells and Jefferson and Wells and Jackson streets.
The 2024 version of Cathedral Square Friends‘ Color the Square program will include the traditional hanging flower baskets, which are alive with color and add so much to the beauty of the Square. The program also includes the maintenance of the perennial plantings in the tree wells, landscaping at the Wells Street corners and maintenance of other improvements, adding more color and splendor to the Square.
We thank previous sponsors for supporting the flower basket program. However, we will need more sponsors and more donors to make the 2024 season a complete success. That’s where you come in. Consider a sponsorship at one of five different levels from $100 to $1900 to bring vibrant living color to the Square. Make a commitment before the end of February to secure a spot as one of this year’s supporters!
Thousands of people were drawn to the Square for Jazz in the Park, Bastille Days and Milwaukee Oktoberfest in 2023, and thousands more play on the playset, visit the farmers market, join in aerobics, eat their lunches, play games, and otherwise enjoy Milwaukee’s oldest park. Color the Square makes their visit even more pleasurable.
