Ulao Creek Music Festival

This is a music festival with DJ' Selector Z. And various Milwaukee local bands. The music ranges from reggae to rock. This years line up included Calliope Canvasmen Bang BangLaddersAmerican MonroeJim DemskiNewboyz clubECBB Extra crispy brass band DJ Selector ZIt was my third year going I've came to see some of my friends play. It's not exactly a public event. You won't see much advertising or flyers. It's word of mouth and a FB event page. usually on last Saturday weekend in August. one year they tried having it on Labor day weekend the turn out was way less due to other smaller events.Rain or shine and I've seen both. So I prefer cooler and wet vs hot and miserable. Originally it was a day to clear up and burn up all the cuttings from the previous year of Hoppe Tree Service. All kinds of stumps, shrubs, tree trimmings along with various items. It is by invite only friends of friends so if you are invited you will be guaranteed a parking and camping spot.Suggested Donations of $20 can be done on line or in person. This is a camping music festival they don't have food vendors so pack your own food drink and grill. The tent campsite will not allow motorized vehicles so be prepared to carry things about 100 feet or drop off and walk in. This year a majestic white horse will be available for the extra VIP supporters. Special shout out to Mike Lucaszewiczs Fred and Melissa Hoppe August and Bob along with many of the volunteers that helped with setup take down and clean up. Food bring it make it carry it in Amb 5 think summerfest with one stage and you know almost everyone. If not. They may know you. Service 3 if you don't know the area don't drive beyond the parking lot. Plenty of areas are swamp you will get stuck and it's a pain pulling vehicles out of mud. Location 5 Grafton exit at the end of arrowhead rd. watch for small signs. Value 552/2015

I came... I saw... I drank way too much Vodka again! Ulao Music Festival was a blast with local bands playing great music all night long, big ass bonfires & camping with friends. This was my third year attending & it gets better each time. This has to be the friendliest group of festival goers, all friends of our hosts the Hoppe family. Thank you August for allowing me to lite & attend to that 50' diameter x 10' tall pile of firewood. By far the largest bonfire I've lit in my life. a big shout out to Callipoe, Extra Cripsy Brass Band, New Boyz Club, Ladders, The Bang Bang, American Monroe, The Canvasmen, Jim Demski & Selector Z's ( Dave ) pitch your tent Reggae Party for providing great riffs all night long. Looking forward to next year already!
