The musical performers have been announced for the annual Waterfront Festival that will take place Saturday and Sunday, June 11-12, at the Yahara Place Park, which is nestled on the northern shore of Lake Monona near where it meets the Yahara River just a couple of blocks from Williamson St., Schenk’s Corner, and the O’Keeffe/Marquette school complex.
The Waterfront Festival is a family friendly Marquette Neighborhood Association event. It raises funds through corporate sponsorship, donations and concessions. There will be fantastic free music on two stages with great food and drink and vendors. The Dandelion Dash will take place on Saturday morning and Fools Flotilla on Sunday morning.
