The 139th Anniversary of the Bay View Massacre Commemoration is set for Sunday, May 4th at 3:00 PM. It will be at the same location as always, the historical marker on the corner of Russell Avenue and Superior Street in Milwaukee’s Bay View neighborhood. This year’s event will also include a march at 2:00 PM, stepping off from Lincoln Avenue and Bay Street and ending at the historical marker in time for the 3:00 PM commemoration. The march will follow the same path the marchers took in 1886. After the commemoration, we’ll go to nearby Puddler’s Hall for music and fellowship.
