Milwaukee Journal Sentinel a la Carte

A la Carte

Summer wouldn't be the same without our annual "Feast with the Beasts" food and music festival! This year, we'll welcome more than 28 area restaurants to the mix, offering everything from Italian to Serbian to Southern fare — there is something to please all tastes. Popular sounds will fill the air as national and local bands perform on six stages throughout the park.

These national acts have been confirmed for this year's festival:

Thursday, August 14 Head East
Friday, August 15 Phil Stacey (American Idol)
Saturday, August 16 Lou Gramm
Sunday, August 17 Heidi Newfield
