Lunchtime Concerts Return to Downtown Milwaukee This Summer

MILWAUKEE (June 2, 2025) – Milwaukee Downtown, BID #21 is welcoming back two of its lunchtime summer concert series. Heart(beats) of the City powered by MGIC and PNC presents Tunes@Noon will kick off the first week of June and run through the end of August.

Heart(beats) of the City powered by MGIC will take place every Wednesday from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., June 4 through August 27 (except August 20), at Red Arrow Park. The lunchtime series will feature local and regional musicians, plus an ever-changing lineup of food truck vendors.

“MGIC is proud to help bring another season of Heart(beats) of the City to Red Arrow Park,” said Annette Adams, SVP, chief human resources officer of MGIC. “Located in the heart of downtown Milwaukee, Red Arrow Park is more than just a public space. It’s a place where our community comes together. Events like this showcase the vibrancy of our city and help foster a welcoming, enriching environment for people who work downtown.”

Just a few blocks away, another concert series will liven Thursday lunchbreaks. PNC presents Tunes@Noon will return to the Courtyard at 411 East Wisconsin Center every Thursday from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., June 5 through August 28 (except June 19). The series will feature an eclectic mix of local and regional artists. Meanwhile guests will be able to purchase food items from Davians and other vendors throughout the season.

“PNC is proud to support the seventh season of Tunes@Noon, an event which continues to create a fantastic reason for our downtown workforce to mingle midday,” said Chris Hermann, PNC regional president of Wisconsin. “We look forward to playing host to this summertime staple, where coworkers and neighbors can share a meal and appreciate the melodies of veteran and rising musicians.”
