In 2008, Lake Park Friends is proud to present the 11th season of Musical Mondays. Thallis Drake, Presenter, has arranged another wonderful roster of musicians to make Monday a day to look forward to in the summer. These enjoyable concerts are presented in cooperation with Milwaukee County Parks, with a generous donation from the Schoenleber Foundation. Wonderful Wednesdays is a series of three concerts geared for children and their families. These presentations will be held on July 9, 16 and 23. Concerts will go on, rain or shine. Musical Mondays concerts are from 6:30-8 p.m. The Wonderful Wednesdays concerts are just one hour in length, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. In case of inclement weather, the concert will move to the Community Room in the lower level of the Lake Park Pavilion, but everyone should hope for sunny Mondays and Wednesdays. These concerts are FREE and open to the public. All concerts take place in Lake Park Picnic Area #3, just south of the playground.
