Last day to register: July 10, 2026
This event is free to attend, with optional donations welcomed.
Join TVOP for our first ever southeast Wisconsin-based event: a Sunday stroll along Lake Michigan with an optional park hang following. The out-and-back route will cover about 2 miles, is completely paved, and mostly flat with less than 50 ft of elevation gain. The route features several lookouts with skyline views of the city as well as points of sandy beach access (unpaved) to view our beautiful lake! Afterwards, several picnic blankets and options for card or outdoor games will be provided for those who would like to stick around and enjoy the day in community with one another. Bring a friend, your favorite outdoor game and maybe a snack to enjoy a day by the water!
This event is for ages 18+ and intended for the LGBTQIA+ community. Please register yourself for more details!

Information for our land acknowledgment was gathered from nativeland.ca, which provides an estimate of original indigenous land occupation, but does not take into account migratory patterns or movement of the many surrounding communities. We recognize the historical complexity of indigenous movement across the land, and honor with gratitude the many, many surviving native nations whose land we benefit from in our work to diversify the outdoors.
