Gordon Park sits on the Milwaukee River in the heart of Riverwest — one of Milwaukee's most creative neighborhoods. August 6 is the first Thursday of the Traveling Beer Garden's Gordon Park stop, which means LIT MKE is bringing Art & Hops. 30-plus local artists and makers join the beer garden truck for a free evening market. Craft beer, handmade goods, and a warm August Thursday in one of the city's best parks. 5–9pm. Families welcome. All ages. Free to browse.
