This year’s festival is on Saturday June, 18th. Along with music, there will be food and a variety of vendors. This summer in 2022, the Summer Solstice Music Festival returns after a two-year absence to the east side and Black Cat Alley Milwaukee will be in the center of it all. Bring a tripod if you are by yourself and want to get into the picture with a favorite mural. As well as the vast murals, there are detailed installations, a garden, and quotes to look at painted on the pavement at your feet.ĭo not forget your camera because this is one of the most Instagrammable spots in Milwaukee.

Beginning in 2016 as an idea between local artists, the East Side Business Improvement District and Wallpapered City LLC., the group wanted to turn this private, often dangerous alley into a place not to be avoided, but celebrated. The East Side Business Improvement District manages Black Cat Alley, which fits right in this hip artsy neighborhood. I adore this art hideaway in the city! It’s edgy, it’s colorful, it’s fun.
