Jazz at The Vine Brings Summer Music to Humboldt Park

Summer nights in Milwaukee are better with live music in the park, and Jazz at The Vine is bringing a full lineup of outdoor concerts to Humboldt Park this season.

Hosted at The Vine Humboldt Beer Garden, the series pairs live jazz with one of Milwaukee County Parks’ favorite beer garden settings. Visitors can grab a drink, settle in outside, and enjoy music in the heart of Bay View throughout the summer.

The Vine is located at 3000 S. Howell Ave. and is scheduled to open for the season on Thursday, May 21. The beer garden serves craft beer, seltzers, cider, non-alcoholic drinks and other refreshments, making it an easy stop before or during a summer concert night.

2026 Jazz at The Vine Lineup

The summer music schedule includes:

May 29: Bay View Jazz Fest
June 11: Catral & Christian
June 25: Tim Whalen Trio
July 9: Jeanne Marie Farinelli Trio
July 23: Carlos Adames Group
August 6: Heirloom
August 20: Milwaukee Jazz Institute
September 3: Donna Woodall Group

The series is supported by Friends of Humboldt Park, which helps provide the summer music set list. Bands interested in performing can contact Friends of Humboldt Park at info@humboldtparkmilwaukee.org.

Make It a Summer Night Out

Jazz at The Vine is the kind of event that feels made for Milwaukee summer: live music, an outdoor beer garden, neighborhood energy and a relaxed park setting.

Bring a chair or blanket, meet up with friends, or make it part of a casual family night in Bay View. With concerts spaced throughout the summer, it’s also a great reason to keep returning to Humboldt Park.
