Despite its reputation as the City of Festivals, Milwaukee doesn't offer very many major ones in the winter, a traditionally dead time for outdoor music in the city. For the last eight years there's been one notable exception, though: Burnhearts Mitten Fest, which gathers bundled-up Milwaukeeans to Potter Avenue in Bay View each February for a dependably great lineup of live music.
After taking last year off due to the pandemic, Mitten Fest will return on Saturday, Feb. 12, Milwaukee Record reports. And once again, the lineup is wonderful:
6 p.m. – Gego Y Nony
4:45 p.m. – Guerrilla Ghost
3:30 p.m. – Telethon
2:15 p.m. – No Seatbelts
1 p.m. – NilexNile
According to Milwaukee Record, the event will also feature rare and limited beers from Central Waters Brewery and Bell’s Brewery, Brandyland old fashioneds, Valentine coffee, local food vendors and a maker fair.
Burnhearts will also collect money and non-perishable food items for the Hunger Task Force.
