An annual celebration of music, moto-culture, and Milwaukee, the Harley-Davidson Homecoming festival spans four days and nights filled with entertainment, events, and live performances by some of country music’s biggest stars, including Chris Stapleton, Hank Williams Jr., and more!
You've probably passed this area dozens of times, but didn't realize what is not seen and certainly didn't realize what was here before. Let's take a closer look at the ponds, their function, and their artistic embellishments. We'll also talk about the history of the Milwaukee Road, one of the largest rail yards of its time, its thousands of dedicated workers, and the project to honor them. We'll end by enjoying the walking paths, riverside trails, and abundance of native plants on this section of the trail.

Join us on a relaxed paddle into the sunset on the Menomonee River. We'll learn about the history of the Menomonee River Valley and see the city from a different perspective. On the way back, we'll switch on our headlamps and enjoy a moonlit trip back past the Harley-Davidson Museum® and other sights.
Space is limited, pre-registration is required. Don’t delay. We will paddle upriver as far as time allows before turning around and paddling back to our dock.
Cost: $45 per person; $15 will be donated back to Menomonee Valley Partners
