2019 Pro Watercross Tour, Racine
2019-07-13 - 2019-07-14 | North Beach, 100 Kewaunee Street, Racine, WI, 53403, United States
Racine welcomes the only Pro Watercross Tour stop in Wisconsin this summer July 13-14!
Watercross is basically motocross on Personal Watercrafts (PWCs or jet skis) – but these athletes compete on an unpredictable liquid track, varying from oceans, lakes and rivers. Competitors challenge the notion of what’s possible, utilizing the most advanced equipment reaching speeds of over 85 mph against a full line of competitors to the extreme freestylist landing a double back-flip in surf. This sport is driven by their passion, creating a lifestyle that combines adrenaline and pure enjoyment of being on the water.

Each race begins with one of the most gut-wrenching experiences in motorsports the side-by-side gated start. Similar to horse racing, a watercross racing start features 20 riders exploding off the line, each thinking to themselves “I’m going to be the first one to that buoy.” Surviving the first-turn is just the beginning. Speed, technique and racing ability will all come into play over the next 20 minutes, as the riders begin to negotiate a series of left and right hand turns.
This exciting event is part of a national tour with stops in Panama City Beach and Pensacola Beach in Florida; Hartwell, GA; and the National Championship in Charleston, WV.
Round Three takes place on the waters of Lake Michigan at Racine’s nationally-recognized North Beach, with plenty of action in Closed Course, Freestyle, Freeride, and Hydrodrag Racing both Saturday, July 13th and Sunday, July 14th.

You can get to Racine’s North Beach via Highways 11, 20, 32, or 38 towards downtown. North Beach is (like its name implies) just north of downtown. It’s just 15 minutes or so off I-41/94.

Steel Bridge Songfest
2019-06-14 - 2019-06-15 | Third Avenue Playhouse, 239 N. 3rd Avenue, Sturgeon Bay, WI, 54235, United States
Steel Bridge Songfest
Steel Bridge Songfest is the “Greatest Original Songwriters’ Festival in the Midwest.” Songwriters of national, regional, and local acclaim come together to write songs inspired by Sturgeon Bay’s Historic Steel Bridge. It consists of a four-day songwriting collaborative called the Construction Zone; their slogan is “Music so fresh it hasn’t been written yet!”
Founded in 2005 by musician Pat MacDonald (of Timbuk3 fame) and his sister, Steel Bridge Songfest began as part of a grass-roots campaign to restore the historic “Steel Bridge” – the original route of Highways 42 and 57 as they crossed Sturgeon Bay. 2019 marks a renewed direction for Steel Bridge Songfest. The non-profit they operate is becoming the Steel Bridge Creative Foundation, and previous events like the pub crawl and the outdoor festival are being suspended for this year while they renew their focus on the music. As they noted:
“While the pub crawl has been an annual shot in the arm for the bar scene, and the outdoor festivals provide some good clean fun for the community, our strongest supporters know that the heart and soul of ALL of our events has always been The Construction Zone where the songwriting and recording happens. This collaborative group process, based on games of spin-the-bottle, is unlike anything else happening anywhere. And we happen to be blessed with the perfect performance venue for bringing it all to light. We love working with Third Avenue Playhouse (TAP) and we’re excited to begin focusing exclusively on the writing, recording, and presentation of our newest “music so fresh, it hasn’t been written yet” at TAP.” — from their site.
Over 200 musicians perform at Steel Bridge Songfest each year. Live performances take place across several venues around Sturgeon Bay, showcasing all of the newly written music as well as past favorites. A list of performers can be found on the festival website.
These “Construction Zone” participants write songs inspired by the bridge (or whatever), and then the songs are recorded on-site at the Holiday Music Motel and released as compilation albums. You can listen to Steel Bridge Radio here or by clicking on the icon.
Steel Bridge Songfest runs from Thursday, June 13th through Sunday, June 16th in venues across Sturgeon Bay. Highways 42 and 57 bring you there. The city will be buzzing with creative artists working on making music throughout the town. While there, check out everything both Sturgeon Bay and the Door Peninsula has to offer, from the beautiful sights, museums like the Door County Maritime Museum, tour a shipbuilding yard, rent a boat, or explore Potawatomi State Park and other natural attractions in this uniquely beautiful area.
Check the Steel Bridge Songfest website here for the latest lineup and details, including the always-growing list of songwriters and the separate list of performers. This is truly a unique event!

Open House Racine County at Modine-Benstead Observatory
2019-06-08 20:00 - 23:00 | Modine-Benstead Observatory, 112 63rd Avenue, Union Grove, WI, 53182, United States
Astronomy lovers and people who just like “far out” things, this is for you! The Modine-Benstead Observatory is hosing one of its Open House Racine County events Saturday night, June 8th for free exploration of the observatory and the stars and planets its telescopes gaze upon.
Seriously, you can just go in for free and look at the universe through their telescopes. Depending on conditions, you can check out the moon, planets, and many deep sky objects. If they’re deep enough, remember that you’re actually looking back in time. For example, when you view the Andromeda galaxy, you are looking back in time 2.9 million years. Trippy, man!
These public open house events are held monthly from April through October. Parking is free along with free admission. The Racine Astrological Society, which runs the whole thing, is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization and of course small donations are welcomed to help defray the yearly costs of observatory maintenance and care. While families are welcome, be sure to keep young children close (it’s a dark area, since the grounds are not illuminated to promote better observing) and instruct them to be careful with the telescope equipment, which is provided by RAS members. Note that there may be lines to make observations through some telescopes. Questions are expected and welcomed, since part of their club mission is to educate and inspire people to participate in the world of amateur astronomy. Astronomical equipment you’ll find at the RAS observatory will range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars in value.The night of an open house there will be a message on the observatory answering machine (262-878-2774) if the skies are too cloudy.
The Modine-Benstead Observatory is located at the intersection of County Highway A & 63rd Drive in Yorkville, less than a mile south of Highway 20, a little over a mile east of U.S. 45, and less than 3 miles west of I-41/94 (take Exit 333/Highway 20 west.)

That’s a lot of chocolate. Good!
Plenty of exhibits on chocolate, demonstrations on chocolate-making, and samples highlight the main theme of the festivals. Music from national and regional acts, family events, and more add to the fun. Need a sugar rush? There’s a cupcake-eating contest if you’re in a hurry for it!
It really is chocolate Jenga…
There’s also a Rotary Carnival, a Chocolate City Bike Ride, fireworks, and a Memorial Day Veterans Day Parade. Chocolate Jenga is a crowd-pleaser – and suspenseful at times! Chocolate carvings, treats, and more add to the tasty fun.
The Burlington Festival Grounds are just off Milwaukee Street (City Highways 36 & 83) along Maryland Avenue near the Fox River and Riverside Park, northeast of downtown. City Highway 11 just to the south, and Highway 142 approaches from the southeast. While in town, you can check out other places like the Spinning Top & Yo-Yo Museum and Fred’s, one of Wisconsin’s legendary burger joints.
Live music and other performances will take place on several stages across the grounds. The Main Stage will include performances from Cherry Pie Thursday night and Bella Cain and Clear Pioneer Friday night. Saturday will feature Squad 51, Chris Jones, Failure to Launch, the Dayrollers, Almight Vinyl, and the Petty Kings (a Tom Petty tribute band) Saturday. Sunday will include 76 Juliet, the Astro Blues Band, the Altered Five Blues Band, and Lunchmoney Bullies.

Eau Claire Jazz Festival
2019-04-25 - 2019-04-27 | Pablo Center at the Confluence, 126 Graham Avenue, Eau Claire, WI, 54701, United States
The Eau Claire Jazz Festival, presented by Eau Claire Jazz, Inc. in partnership with UW-Eau Claire, features jazz music from university groups on campus and nationally-renown guest performances Friday and Saturday evening April 26th & 27th, with a special Thursday night concert the 25th led by Chris Botti! Friday night the 26th will feature Guest Artists Grace Kelly & The New York Voices.
Afterwards, you can enjoy the Airmen of Note, the premiere jazz ensemble of the United States Air Force (and one of the six ensembles that form the Air Force Band.) Based in Washington DC, the Airmen of Note formed in 1950 as a continuation of the military dance band tradition started by Major Glenn Miller, the legendary bandleader and trombonist of the swing era. Some of their accolades include a discography of over 40 albums, performances and recordings with stars like Dizzy Gillespie, Doc Severinsen, and Nancy Wilson, commissioned works from top composers such as Bob Florence, Bob Mintzer, and Sammy Nestico, and reaching the #2 spot in the JazzWeek jazz chart for their holiday recording of “Cool Yule.” The Airmen of Note will perform not only Friday night after Grace Kelly & The New York Voices, but also Saturday at the 4pm awards concert.
Throughout the Eau Claire Jazz Festival, you can check out Student Performances throughout Friday and Saturday, where student combos and big bands will compete for various accolades and prizes including the chance to play on the headline concerts or even win a free instrument for their school.
The Gatsby Gala event lets you step back to the roaring ’20s where you’ll be surrounded by the sights and sounds of the era! The UW-Eau Claire Jazz I and Jazz II ensembles will perform with special guest artists throughout the night. Expect to hear non-stop music including all your favorite classics from the swing era and even charts with a modern take on the style. Come dressed in your favorite 1920’s-inspired black-tie attire and get ready to party! Tickets are separately purchased for this event and can be secured here.
Also Friday night, the Eau Claire Jazz Festival sees downtown Eau Claire transform into a recreation of the historic 52nd street in New York City, a location infamous for its prevalence of jazz clubs and wealth of talent. Over twenty performance venues host concerts all evening long!
As you can tell, there are quite a few reason to check this out. It all happens in the new Pablo Center at the Confluence in downtown Eau Claire, a venue that just opened in Fall 2018 with a 1,200-seat main theater, an adjacent 400-seat theater, and other public and event spaces. Definitely a cool new place to check out as you enjoy great music and everything else Eau Claire has to offer!

The lovely and fun city of Chippewa Falls turns 150 this year, and its Chippewa Falls Sesquicentennial Celebration Kickoff was Monday, March 25th. The celebration continues, especially into this weekend!
Okay, sesquicentennial (pronounced “sĕsˌkwĭ-sĕn-tĕnˈē-əl”) is a tricky word. But the events around it for the year will be fun! This first Chippewa Falls Sesquicentennial event to celebrate the city’s incorporation in 1869 is a musical.
You can experience it at the Heyde Center for the Arts and take a step back in time as the Wayward Players, dressed in period costume, sing songs from CHIPPEWA FALLS 1869: THE MUSICAL on the same date that the proclamation that founded the city was signed: March 25th. Browse through historic photographs, enjoy complimentary snacks and beverages, and talk with city officials and historians about the past, present and future of Chippewa Falls. The Chippewa County Historical Society will have books about Chippewa Falls on sale, a table and display of artifacts from the early 1800s, fur trade re-enactors from the Past Passed Here, and more. The Chippewa County Genealogy Society will be on hand with insights on many of the city’s founding families.
At 7:00 p.m. a formal program will be held in the Heyde Center auditorium starting with two songs by the Wayward Players. This will be followed by a brief speech by the Mayor of Chippewa Falls and finally the delivery of the proclamation to Doug Richter, the great-grandson of William Irvine (of Irvine Park fame). Richter will be the Grand Marshal of the August 10, 2019 Pure Water Days Parade in downtown Chippewa Falls. No cost for admission.
The musical continues at the Heyde Center later Thursday, March 28th – Sunday, March 31st. More Sesquicentennial events will follow, and we’ll keep you up to date on them!
