Giant fluorescent tentacle art on display at free ArtBlaze beach events
MILWAUKEE — See gigantic florescent tentacles for free on the Milwaukee lakefront as part of the four-part ArtBlaze on the Beach summer beach party series.
ArtBlaze attendees can enjoy live music, food, s’more stations, tie dye making, art experiences, dance lessons, yoga and a great view of the 30-foot tentacle art.
The beach parties kick off Wednesday, July 10, with family friendly activities starting at 3:30 P.M. and shifting into a dance party later in the evening.
Joy Engine, the public art production company presenting ArtBlaze, is hosting the festivities at Bradford and South Shore beaches.
“When searching for a site that naturally brings people from all walks of life, including residents of the deep lake, our public beaches seem like an obvious choice,” said Steph Salvia, Joy Engine Executive Director.
The featured tentacle art exhibit is handmade in Milwaukee by FuzzPop, a local multimedia production studio.
There are four chances to join in on the art-filled beach party July 10, July 31, August 7 or August 21, with fresh live music headliners at each event.
ArtBlaze at the Beach is the newest of Joy Engine’s other Milwaukee-based public art experiences, including Under One Moon, Out of the Box, and Nitelight.
For the full music lineup and event offerings check out the Joy Engine website.

Milwaukee Wave coach Marcio Leite 2025-26 team’s evolution in MASL
See first-year Milwaukee Wave head coach Marcio Leite discuss the roles of younger players and veterans as the 2025-26 MASL season begins.
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.
MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Police Department is investigating a shooting that occurred on early Sunday morning on the 4900 block of W. Capitol Drive that left one person injured.
