Halloween has always been a much-celebrated holiday in Milwaukee and this year the Riverwest neighborhood is literally taking center stage by hosting the “Second Annual Nightmare on Center Street” on Saturday, October 29.
Multiple venues along the neighborhood’s hippest street will host some of the city’s most popular bands. Company Brewing, HIGH DIVE MKE, The Jazz Gallery Center for the Arts and Club Timbuktu Milwaukee are offering tickets for both individual shows or a $15 wristband for all the shows.
Organizer and musician Jay Anderson’s vision for the night’s festivities was to “make the Riverwest Neighborhood a destination for the city of Milwaukee and increase revenue and wealth within that community.”
