We at Alverno Presents want to extend a heart-felt thank you to everyone who helped make the third annual Global Union a huge success. Despite terrible weather that weekend, you, our dedicated audience, turned out with a force stronger than the rain. All told, despite the monsoon continually pouring down on us, we had an estimated 5,000 people over the two days. We cannot tell you how impressed and honored we are with the support the community has shown Global Union. The festival exceeded all of our expectations and we can’t wait to see all of you next year, hopefully with fewer umbrellas and more sunglasses. One last note. All of the artists we had over the weekend had a great time and were impressed and surprised with the level of devotion of Milwaukee concert goers; you were referred by more than one artist as having tremendous soul – and we couldn’t agree more.
Thanks again, and see you next year!
