A New View of Bay View: Humboldt Park & Vicinity

Enjoy a new view of Bay View with a focus on the Humboldt Park area with Ron Winkler. Humboldt Park is one of Milwaukee’s six original parks which opened in 1890. This is where you will find The Vine Beer Garden, Chill on the Hill, Jazz at The Vine, the Easter Egg Hunt, Milwaukee’s oldest organized Fourth of July celebration (1910) with the best fireworks display in the county, and the Halloween Pumpkin Palace and celebration. We will explore the park and surrounding neighborhood which includes Bay View High School, historic churches and homes.
