Heritage Week is underway … and it promises to be a memorable one.
Sunday’s 100th birthday of Grant Park was a great event, and that was just the start.
The newest addition to the Heritage Week lineup is the Bucyrus International Cycling Classic on Tuesday. I have had the pleasure of serving on the organizing committee for this event, and it promises to be a great day of competitive bike racing and family fun.
Races begin at 10 a.m. and continue until 8 p.m. along a beautiful 2.8-mile course through downtown South Milwaukee and the Oak Creek Parkway. We also have a special vendor fair (and Downtown Market) planned at 8th and Milwaukee Avenue and a variety of children’s activities near the start/finish line at 9th and Milwaukee. The youth activities, brought to you by the YMCA and Wheaton Franciscan Medical Group, begin at 3 p.m.

Some Heritage Week traditions are then planned the rest of the week — the firehouse spaghetti dinner on Wednesday, Evening on the Avenue/Downtown Market on Thursday, the car cruise on Friday, the parade and duck race on Saturday and Lionsfest all weekend.
