Entertainment Lineup

New in 2026, Jazz in the Park will be preceded each Thursday by Cathedral Square Market, beginning at 3 PM, creating an extended evening of community, food, and entertainment in the heart of downtown Milwaukee. The market’s move to Thursdays came directly from vendor and community feedback, and East Town Association is excited about what the new format will bring to Cathedral Square Park all summer long.
