Milwuakee's Hoancoming Fresh Coast Party lit up the sky Saturday night


MILWAUKEE — The Hoancoming: Milwaukee’s Fresh Coast Party certainly drew a crowd and dazzled spectators with a light show featuring drones Saturday night.

Currently, there are only lights on the West side of the bridge, but in addition to the party, Hoancoming is also an annual fundraiser to raise money for lights on the East side of the bridge. Raised money also goes to general maintenance and community programs.

Boats began to arrive around 8 p.m. in anticipation of the show, and the shore under the hoan was filled with spectators. The show began around 8:30 p.m. and went for about a half hour.

Rado Milwaukee’s mobile app and 88.9FM broadcasted DJ Shawna to accompany the light show.

The drones flew up and over the Hoan from the North and sketched out the words, “Hoancoming” and “Light the Hoan” at the beginning of the show.

Here are some of the cool drone pictures:

  • The Milwaukee Wave will face the San Diego Sockers in the Major Arena Soccer League championship series.
  • The Wave will host Game 1 on Wednesday, April 22, with the series then moving to California.
  • Milwaukee advanced to the finals after eliminating the Baltimore Blast.

The Milwaukee Wave had been in the awkward position of trying to sell tickets to the MASL championship series without knowing when it would actually host a game.

The questions were answered late April 19, when the San Diego Sockers beat the St. Louis Ambush in the other semifinal in overtime. Their series didn’t even start until four days after the Wave eliminated the Baltimore Blast with victories in a regulation Game 2 and knockout Game 3 at the UWM Panther Arena.

Now the finals are set for two of the most decorated teams in arena soccer.

The Wave will host Game 1 at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday, April 22 and then the series will finish at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, with Game 2 at 9:30 p.m. April 24 and a potential Game 3 at 9 p.m. April 27.

Three versions of the Sockers have totaled 16 championships in various indoor league with the latest iteration founded in 2009 owning six of those. The Wave has seven.

First-year Wave head coach Marcio Leite has won titles with both franchises.
