Downtown 2nd Sat.
MORE ADDED FUN FOR THE EVENING!
On 2nd Saturday of the month the downtown area host their "Second Saturday" evening with the Twilight Marketplace and free entertainment. This will take place between 54th Street and 58th Street. (Weather permitting - I think). Stroll Sixth Avenue and some shops may stay open a little later that evening.
Some of shops on Sixth Avenue; Starting at 51st Street and going South: Villa d'Carlo's, Common Grounds Coffee Shop, Trolley Dogs, Sandy's Poppers & Ice Cream, Mo's Coffee Shop, Rhode Theatre (old Lake Theatre), Cooler by the Lake (east of the Rhode), Wine Knot, Summers Garden, Bella Ancora Gift Shop, The Nook, Walgren's for the normal stuff, The Christmas Shop, Dale's Jewelry, the new bistro called Goodfellas, Frank's Diner (east of Sixth Avenue), Orpheum Building Toy Store and Scoops Ice Cream Shop, SJ Crystals Men's Store, and of course, Bjorn's Men's Fine Clothier is a museum - Kenosha's Fun Museum! Great job Mike & Judy!
So what this means - there will be no parking directly on Sixth Avenue for the evening.
For ease of parking your best bet is to park in municipal parking lots on 54th & 55th Streets between Sixth and Eighth Avenues.
If you arrive early you may even decide to ride the trolley - cost is a whole 50 cents per person. Not sure what time they finish the rides with the Second Saturday happening.
