Know the North Shore: Dad O’Clock
Whitefish Bay dad Erik Moser started with a simple idea: get a few dads together for a drink and see what happens. More than 30 showed up. We talked with Erik about Whitefish Bay Dads, men’s mental health, building community as an adult and the next happy hour at The Argo on June 3. Read why one dad created space to connect.

Fourth of July Kids Parade Returns
North communities like Fox Point and Bayside have a tradition of a kids bike parade as part of the Fourth of July. This year, Whitefish Bay joins their neighbors and is bringing back their bike parade for kids age 12 and below. A panel of judges will be watching for the most impressive displays of spirit, creativity, and red-white-and-blue energy, and the grand prize winner will receive a $500 gift certificate to Wheel & Sprocket Bike Shop in Fox Point! Start planning and decorating now.
