Milwaukee Air Show

[TheEndless7]

My dad and I have wanted to go for years and are finally going to this Sunday. He asked me if I thought we could bring a cooler (filled with bottled water) to the event, and I wasn't sure. Does anyone on here know if you can? I see their website says no alcoholic beverages can be brought in, but nothing about a cooler its self.

My understanding is, technically Bradford Beach is a public park, so they can't stop you from bringing in a cooler, even if they preferred you didn't so you had to buy from vendors.

On the web site they are talking about the air show festival grounds, which I believe is located at Veterans Park. Since you can view the airshow from just about anywhere by the lakefront in Milwaukee, you could bring a cooler or whatever and just view it from someplace other than the festival grounds.

actually its closer to Bradford beach, and I would recommend finding a place that you can hear the announcer. If you have never been to an airshow, it will help you understand the maneuvers that they are doing. Me personally, someone who has 200+ hours of flight time, its old hat to me. I get excited every year when the show comes and it was only intensified this evening as I was getting home downtown and I heard the F-22 raptor buzzing around on it demonstration flight. I can't wait to go either tomorrow or Sunday. :D

county ordinance forbids alcohol carry-ins. jazz in the park ran into the same thing recently. it is generally loosely enforced as long as everyone behaves. grills and glass containers are more strictly enforced.

 

that said we had 2 coolers today and nobody said a word to us about them...unfortunately the air show didnt happen today due to the low ceiling.
