Ladies Must Swing
to
San Damiano, Monona 4123 Monona Drive, Monona, Wisconsin 53716

We have highlighted the 19-piece all-female jazz band that is Ladies Must Swing in this space before. This time, we must also call attention to their venue, the lovely grounds of the former San Damiano Friary, once the home of Frank Allis, of Allis-Chalmers farm equipment fame (and wealth). The city of Monona is treating the area as a public park while a master plan is developed. The shady lawn on the shore of Lake Monona is a perfect spot for enjoying a summer evening. In addition to the music, there will be beer concessions, food trucks and yard games, starting at 5 p.m. The site, at 4123 Monona Drive, has extremely limited parking, but the lot at nearby Monona Grove High School is usually recommended.
media release: Ladies Must Swing is a 19-piece all-female jazz band that finds its niche playing events in airport hangers and other places that evoke jazz nostalgia and toe tapping swing. The band will be playing from 6:00-8:00 pm.
Enjoy amazing views, beer, food trucks, yard games & live music.
What to Bring: Lawn chairs or blankets. Cash – this is a cash-only event. Beer Sales from 5:00 - 8 pm.
This event is hosted by the Friends of San Damiano
