Fox Point Beer Garden Summer 2026: Schedule and Hours
New Barons Brewing Cooperative teamed up with the Village of Fox Point to bring a beer garden to Longacre Pavilion
The Fox Point Beer Garden at Longacre Pavilion is returning for the 2026 season, hosted by New Barons Brewing Cooperative — and it sounds like exactly the kind of laid-back neighborhood gathering that makes summer on the North Shore special.
Held throughout the summer and early fall at Longacre Pavilion, the beer garden combines local craft beer, live music, rotating food trucks, and plenty of family-friendly space to spread out and relax.
Even better? It’s both kid-friendly and dog-friendly, making it an easy choice for families looking for a casual night out without needing a babysitter or leaving the pup at home.
One of the more unique touches: local police officers often stop by with treats for kids, helping create the kind of welcoming neighborhood atmosphere that keeps people coming back.

How Fox Point’s Beer Garden Took Root
New Baron Coop’s Taps
Fox Point teamed up with community-owned New Barons Brewing Cooperative in 2022, transforming Longacre Pavilion—the winter ice-skating warming house—into a lakeside beer garden on select weekends each summer. The village program quickly became a Friday-night tradition, pairing local craft beer with rotating food trucks and family-friendly live music. Seating is limited; regulars bring lawn chairs or picnic blankets and let kids roam the adjacent green space.
Good to know
Longacre has restrooms inside the pavilion
Last call is 30 minutes before closing; carry-in alcohol is prohibited
Dogs on leash are welcome, and there’s usually water bowls for four-legged friends
Traveling Beer Garden Rolls into Fox Point
Craft beer also comes to Fox Point when the Milwaukee County Traveling Beer Garden comes to Fox Pointand parks its restored fire-truck bar at Doctors Park (weeknights 5–9 pm; weekends & holidays 11 am–9 pm). Expect Sprecher brews, root-beer floats, and evening live music—plus lake-view sunsets from the bluff.
With beer gardens in the North Shore all summer long, summer 2026 is shaping up to be the best beer-garden season yet on Milwaukee’s North Shore.
