RACINE LOOKING DAMN GOOD.

Huge shoutout to local photographer Christopher Namowicz for capturing this incredible shot of the Main Street Bridge over the Root River in downtown Racine.

That sky. The reflection on the river. One of Racine’s most recognizable bridges. This is the kind of shot that reminds you just how good our city can look from the water.

We’re proud to be part of Racine’s riverfront community at Bridge Tender Tavern, and we love seeing local photographers capture the places that make this city unique.

Next time you’re down by the Root River, stop in, grab a cold one, and enjoy the riverfront with us.

Well… we said rain or shine, and we meant it! 🌦️

The day is officially underway! We kicked things off by checking out the Duck Race, and next up are the Cardboard Boat Races.

After that, it’s time to head over to Chartroom for the rest of the day’s fun! We’ve got local craft vendors, Beer Olympics, and of course our headliner, Caitlynne Curtis!

Don’t let the weather fool you—we’re doing this! Whether Caitlynne is playing outside or we move the show indoors, the music is happening and we’re ready to have a great time.

We’ll keep everyone updated throughout the day if anything changes, but for now, come on out, have some fun, and spend the day with us. We can’t wait to see all of you at Chartroom! 🍻🎶
