Lincoln Memorial Drive (LMD) winds its way along nearly three miles of Milwaukee lakefront, from the Milwaukee Art Museum to Lake Park. Thousands of drivers, cyclists, joggers, and walkers travel LMD and the Oak Leaf Trail each week, making this corridor one of the highest-visibility locations in the park system.
Special event banners along Lincoln Memorial Drive are available first, to those organizations hosting a lakefront event and having a Special Events Permit or M.O.U. with Milwaukee County Parks. Your double-sided 6-by-4-foot banners will be placed at prime sites along LMD for one or two weeks preceding your event.
Display your message on 50 harp lights along Lincoln Memorial Drive. Each year millions of visitors travel along the 2.7-mile stretch of roadway along Milwaukee's lakefront. The Harp-Light Banner Program offers a rare opportunity to reach these visitors, including event-goers, park patrons, commuters, and out-of-town guests.
Harp Light banners are double-sided, 30-by-54-inch designs.
No matter the time of year, the Oak Leaf Trail is always active. Cyclists, runners, dog walkers, even cross country skiers, travel along 125 miles of multi-use trail that threads its way through Milwaukee County. Nearly a quarter of the trail hugs the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan, and in downtown Milwaukee, the trail provides a safe, traffic-free route through the city.
Reach thousands of trail users by sponsoring our navigational signs throughout the Oak Leaf Trail system. Your business name and logo will be included on the lower panel of each sign along a selected trail line. Annual sponsorships are available for each branch line of the Oak Leaf Trail.
Advertising space on dasher boards is available at the Wilson Ice Arena and Red Arrow Park's Slice of Ice. Printing, production, and installation are included.
Wilson Ice Arena offers open skate year round and hosts junior and adult hockey leagues. The Ice Arena sees a constant flow of local ice skaters and nationally-touring teams alike. Dasher boards are 96 by 34 inches.
Slice of Ice, in the heart of downtown, opens from December through February, with free skating to those who bring their own skates. In the "warming house," a Biggby Coffee is an additional draw to the facility. Double-sided dasher boards surround the rink and are 55 by 22 inches. Only 58 total spaces are available each skating season.
