Annual Winter Concert

The Milwaukee Police Band performed their annual winter community concert that is free and open to everyone at the historic Pabst Theater.

This year our concert was live streamed so please click on the link below. This was the first concert at the lovely Pabst Theater since the pandemic and it was well attended on Saturday, February 4, 2023.

Fun and laughter and many familiar tunes was presented to our friends and family and community. The emcee for the third year in a row was none other than the incredible Carole Meekins who has been reporting and anchoring news for more than three decades. She’s been at TODAY’S TMJ4 for 34 years and is the co-anchor of Live at 5 at TODAY’S TMJ4 and the executive producer and host of “Positively Milwaukee with Carole Meekins,” a weekly show airing Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m.
