Summer Sounds

Summer sounds is the ultimate outdoor summer, family appropriate experience. Giant field, a stage, food trucks, and fun. Families start arriving around 5 and the opening music act goes from 630-730. The main act goes from 8-10. Families steak out a spot on the field, bring wine and cheese, kids run around and play on the playground and if the weather is nice it is a perfect evening. Go. Here. Now

I lived within a short bike-ride to this Friday music festival that takes place in a huge park in Cedarburg for a couple of years. The Inner-Urban trail takes you almost all of the way up there yet you do have to hop onto some of the city roads. The park is right next to Silver Creek Brewer so it is nice to bring a growler to fill up before bringing it to the park. Summer Sounds brings good acts, is never too packed, and is really laid back. Over the last couple of years they have added food tents that include the Nines, a hotdog place, BBQ place, popcorn, beer/wine text, and a few others. There is plenty of bike parking. The street parking does get a little packed on these nights so be prepared for a few block walk.

Summer Sounds is Cedarburg's version of Jazz in the Park (downtown Milwaukee). It's a great place to relax and enjoy some music on Friday nights in the summer. My boyfriend and I always fill up a growler at Silver Creek Brewery before heading to the park. It's just a few doors down from the park. We always bring some bites to nibble on, but otherwise there are a few vendors there! There is usually a variety of 3 or 4 local restaurants that set up shop, and also the generic food vendorrs with hotdogs, hamburgers, beer (duh), and popcorn/preztles.I highly recommend it if you are in the area!

I highly recommend this event. Bands are up and coming and in many cases you are not going to know the songs. However, the songs are preformed very well and I always find the bands entertaining and energetic. The BEST part of this event is that you can BYO everything! :-)
