In 2025 the music lineup is fairly inspired of local and regional talent. While the area gets congested with traffic, there does tend to be ample parking by the normal Hart Park lot (by the bathrooms, tennis court, etc.).

**July 2025: Evening Visit**…read more I was staying in Milwaukee, but saw on Instagram that that the city of Tosa was hosting a Independance Day Drone Show. Since my friend and I were staying nearby we thought we'd check it out. The Drone Show started around 9:15pmish but there was live music and community performances in the Hart Park starting 5pm (methinks). I believe we were able to park in the parking lot at 7pmish? There were many families who brought picnic blankets, coolers, chairs etc and just enjoyed being outdoors. There were a couple of food vendors available. The drone shoe was fun. They selected images that were very community centered as well as appreciation for first responders. I'm pretty confident 95% of attendance for the event were businesses and families from Tosa. Trying to exit the parking lot was kind of a nightmare, but overall I think this was a very well organized community event!

I finally made it to Rosebud Cinema. Granted, they were closed for almost four years after the…read moreCOVID-19 pandemic began, so I've only recently had opportunities to do so. While there my son and I got popcorn, a soda, and a bottle of water. Matinee pricing isn't bad compared to bigger chain theaters. My ticket was $10 and he was $8 since he counts for child prices. The popcorn was expensive at $9 for a medium-ish size bag (even with a free refill) compared to larger buckets at other theaters and we didn't care for the flavor of the "butter". The soda was $7, which was also pricey. Unfortunately they only offer one size for both the popcorn and soda and don't give you a discount for buying both as a combo. They have other food like pizza and chicken tenders on the menu board, but no prices were listed. I know people love the leather recliners at other theaters, but the loveseats at Rosebud Cinema are preferable as far as I'm concerned. We sunk into the plush loveseat and it was far more comfortable than a hard leather recliner. Each loveseat had a decent size pillow to lean on too. It's not the most conveniently located theater based on where I live, but the decent prices and comfortable seating will probably bring me back.

It is the first movie theater in the Milwaukee area to serve alcohol. There is a variety of concessions including fresh buttered popcorn and pizza.

Also, check out the Avalon Atmospheric Theater and Times Cinema which is owned by the same business the Neighborhood Theater Group. The Rosebud Cinema Drafthouse is a unique Cinema classic in Wauwatosa!

I was hesitant about going to any senior center for having a "Good time" From the look of the parking lot it was filled up and I came just in time to see the Anvil performer hammering away. The band was quite large and was jamming the hits to make you forget about how cold it was outside. So spring is here wheres the beer.. buy tickets and enjoy Sprecher beer for $9.or HB for slightly more and Lite for slightly less. Special thanks to Mike, Kelly, Gebby, Brian N Joanna for volunteering. Glad to see many familiar faces and yes they have a sheep that looked awfully scared up along the sprinkler system pipe.. I know nothing... Food- 4, sausages and desert table Amb- 4 Serv-5 Loc-5 not bad for a hart park senior center. Value- 4 lots of volunteers and good support from the community Win Win.. 23 / 2015

So, I'm German and I don't drink beer? What the hell, Nancy? Well, tonight it was ok, because I was…read morethe designated driver, and my drinks (soda) were free! Think of this festival as German Fest Light....no dachshund races and no parade (unless you count the conga line!). Food and beverages work on a ticket system: $1 and $.50 increments. Food choices included various sausages with potato salad and sauer kraut, various baked goods for desserts, large soft pretzels with cheese, nachos, landjaeger, and candy. Beverage choices were beer, beer, wine, soda, wine coolers and beer. German music was polka style, of course, and included selections such as "Roll Out the Barrel" and "Edelweiss". The main event was a (near)beer drinking contest where both a king and queen were crowned. All of the racing sausages made an appearance and walked amongst the crowd and posed for pictures. At some point, the hot dog, Polish sausage, Italian sausage and chorizo left, leaving only the bratwurst (natch!) to work the crowd. Work it, he did, as he became a prominent member of the above mentioned conga line! 6 hours of excellent food, drink, music and people watching and an awesome kick start to the upcoming festival season in our fair city.....I'm already anticipating next year! 58/2015

The apartment I moved into reaked like smoke even through fresh paint and new carpet. I had to deep scrub all of the woodwork, cabinets, and windows and the smell still lingered with two air purifiers running nonstop. My apartment was on the first floor and the windows did not lock. They never even attempted to fix them even after I told them I felt unsafe and there were break ins in the parking lot. The basement was beyond disgusting, as well as the hallways. They literally never cleaned the common areas and you could tell because there was salt on the carpets from the previous winter. There was a nasty old abandoned couch in the basement. Dead and alive bugs everywhere. Also the bedbugs. They were in my apartment when I moved in. They did pay to spray but they did so without my notice and with my cat in the apartment to which I was very upset. Please save your money and time and stay far away from BG LEIN. It will cost you more than a headache.

Same pushy vendors for home needs chasing people down. Some were more respectful than others. Excellent music this year! Really loved Valley Fox.

There's a good mix of kids' activities, food looked better than standard fest fare, and there was craft beer and wine, although I hate having to buy tickets for drinks, and the beer workers were pretty unorganized, and also ran out of a few kinds of beer fairly early. Then I saw that we could just have bought good beers from Cafés Hollander and Bavaria for cash! (Not from the Festival, itself). The headlining music acts were good, although the two main stages seemed miles apart, especially in 50-degree weather. We probably parked too far away down the Menomonee Parkway, it's a pretty popular festival, and nice "for the area", would come back for a music act I really liked.
