Tomorrow, as Americans gear up for their annual tribute to independence with back-to-back barbecues and a sky ablaze with fireworks, locals in Waukesha have a more communal celebration in their sights. According to the event page on the City of Waukesha website, Couri Insurance is set to light up the eve of the Fourth with a neighborhood beer garden and a fireworks display that promises to put the sparkle in your patriotic festivities.
Starting at 6:00 p.m., residents can lay out their blankets and set up chairs at the designated spot, pulsing early with expectation for an evening filled with more than just the usual pyrotechnic shimmer. While the sky won't bloom with color until later, the beer garden will be brimming with bubbling enthusiasm thanks to local breweries, along with food trucks to keep hunger at bay. And here is an thing you won't want to miss - the local country band Bootjack Road is queued up to deliver an electrifying performance.
Bootjack Road, the band featured at the event, packs a punch with a sound described by one reviewer as a mix of "country/rock, with a few contemporary jams sprinkled in—and they’re all played with edgy, contemporary muscle," as mentioned on the City of Waukesha website. Not to be outshone by the fireworks, their strong vocals and sharp performance skills are expected to blaze a trail across the stage. It's clear from the hype that this Midwest group, with its roots in the country towns of Wisconsin, intends to rock the event as resoundingly as the subsequent fireworks display will light up the sky.
