St Francis Days is run by the local Lions chapter and feels like a big community picnic (with the…read moreaddition of a few sketchy carnival rides). Both the bandshell and a large tent are used for music (a Vegas style lounge act or a polka band on our visit), and several vendors dish up food. The stands run by the Lions were very reasonably priced (think $3 for a burger or brat) and the other 2 suppliers had higher "Fest" prices. $7 for mozz sticks?? This ain't Summerfest, yo! Beer prices were on the higher side for a community event ($4 domestics) BUT you could PRE ORDER beer tokens and save some money. Never heard of that before, but props to St Francis for embracing the digital age. Bathrooms are a choice of park pavilion bathrooms or portajohns - both were reasonably clean. Not a fan of the pony/camel rides on offer - not many people were doing it and the animals looked sad. Otherwise, a nice community event - pretty low key compared to some others.

Always a great time! I've come to this event 3 years in row. Set in a gymnasium, there's tables set…read moreup, sampling wine, beer and gourmet food. I like to start with white wines, then switch to red wines, then switch to beer. No need to eat before you get there, because there is so much to eat and drink that you'll be full before you know it. There is a cash bar upstairs, to benefit charity. Vendors sell jewelry and gourmet food. You must be 21, and tickets are $30. Lots of free parking is available.

Cool that 3 Klement Racing Sausages were there to dance along. Audience loved this group; hope to catch them again at another Milwaukee fest. I can see why The Reverend won the Wisconsin Music Industry (WAMI) award for best blues band in 1999, 2000, 2004, 2005, 2008 and again in 2010. They also received the People's Choice Award in 2006, 2008 and again in 2010. If your looking for quality blues & jazz for your next party or event, check them out!

This place was excellent! We came to watch The Sound of Music put on by Christian Youth Theater…read more(which was phenomenal!) and had a great time. All the staff was very friendly, helpful about assisting for seating arrangements, where to go, how to get there, etc. There were many people to assist outside and inside the theater for any direction you may need to find things like the concessions stand, bathrooms, exits. The entire place was very very clean, so you didn't have to worry about sitting on a seat that previously had gum on it or anything. The areas were roomy enough, and you didn't feel like you were packed in. It's still close quarters, but you have enough room to enjoy your time there. There were plenty of people there to assist in anything that was to come up, like if there were sound issues, technical difficulties, or similar.

The auditorium itself has comfortable seats with very good acoustics and sightlines and the many excellent shows they have here are quite reasonably priced. Excellent quality for money spent if you're coming for a Knightwind Ensemble concert or one of the musicals they put on here. Free parking, easy to get to and there's just no downside. Don't let the low prices make you think you won't get professional quality. Perfect place to teach children how to behave for concerts or shows.
