A Tribute to Soulstice Runs April 27-June 14

In lieu of being able to gather in person, past attendees are invited to share their memories to benefit local supporting businesses

We made the difficult decision to cancel the Summer Soulstice Music Festival this year due to COVID-19 implications.

A Tribute to Summer Soulstice will replace and update the current event. To take part in the Tribute, just share your favorite Summer Soulstice memories in the form of pictures, videos, and/or written memories about favorite times at Summer Soulstice, or why you love Summer Soulstice.

The Tribute will take place from April 27 to June 14. Anyone who submits a Soulstice memory during that time will be entered to win a weekly drawing for a gift card to a featured local business that has supported Summer Soulstice. To enter, send photos, videos, and/or written memories to The East Side BID via their Facebook (The East Side) or Instagram (@eastsidemke) page, or intern@theeastside.org. Each memory submitted counts as an “entry” in the drawing for the gift card to that week’s featured business.

A schedule of featured businesses is below:

- Milwaukee Film April 27-May 3

- Crossroads Collective May 4-10

- Hooligans May 11-17

- Ian’s Pizza May 18-24

- Izzy Hops Swig & Nosh May 25-31

- Hacienda Beer Co. June 1-7

- Von Trier June 8-14

On June 20 (when Summer Soulstice would have taken place), we will unveil the collection of Soulstice memories and recipients of the gift cards.

For information email Elizabeth Brodek Executive Director.
