Milwaukee's Beaches are heating up!

As part of its place on a beautiful freshwater inland sea (Lake Michigan), Milwaukee does have some great beaches for getting sun, building sand castles, and swimming.

This year, after a facelift and new management, Bradford Beach near Milwaukee's downtown is looking more and more like it's old nickname "Bikini Beach" from the 70's.

In fact, tomorrow, the beach will play host to the classy Balzac at the Beach Wine Tasting event.

Have a great time, learn about wine! Sample over 50 wines served with light appetizers on the Bradford Beach House patio along our beautiful lakefront.

- Three hours of wine tasting for $25!
- 3PM – 6PM Music and Entertainment, Wine Tasting
- Tickets available in advance at the Bradford Beach House, Balzac, and Hi Hat Lounge.
- Tickets are also available the day of the event.

Next Weekend at the Beach: Bradford Beach Jam!
