A new event series is bringing the free summer festival experience to Milwaukee beaches in July and August.
ArtBlaze on the Beach, produced by nonprofit public art organization Joy Engine, will bring hands-on art and feet-moving dance experiences to Bradford Beach and South Shore Beach. “In the city of festivals, our public beaches have been historically underutilized as a site for celebration,” said Steph Salvia, Joy Engine executive director, in a statement announcing the series.
Salvia said Joy Engine chose those locations after looking at Milwaukee Parks Foundation’s equity index with a desire to make the events to Milwaukee residents on both the north and south sides.
ArtBlaze beach parties will begin at 3:30 p.m. with family friendly activities, shifting into a dance party as the night continues. Here's a look at the events:
July 10, Bradford Beach. Music by Trapper Schoepp and Wave Chapelle, chess and hip-hop with Your Move MKE, DJ sets by DJ D-On, DJ Shortstyle and DJ E Rich.
July 31, South Shore Beach. Music by Lil Rev and De La Buena, MKE Yoga Social open session, salsa dance lessons with Karlies Kelly.
Aug. 7, South Shore Beach. Music and dance from The Kid Boogie Down and DJ Lukewarm, Polynesian collective Halo E Malo and reggae-soul group Urban Empress and the UrbanItes.
Aug. 21, Bradford Beach. Girls Rock Showcase, reggaeton with Gego y Nony, dance group Sparkle and Burn, DJ Shawna. Also, people can help sand sculptor Ted Siebert construct a giant sea creature.
All four parties will include hands-on art activities, food vendors and giant handmade fluorescent cephalophod tentacles created by FuzzPop Workshop. For ArtBlaze info, visit joyengine.org.
