We brought back our signature soirée last year to an overwhelming response and are already building on that success as we gear up for our return to the Harley-Davidson Museum on Thursday, March 5.

SoundBites 2026 will once again be the most incredible dining room in Milwaukee with a menu that's ... well, it's a little early to reveal that part. But we can lift the lid on a few of the restaurants scheduled to join us this year:

• Amilinda
• Bartolotta's Lake Park Bistro
• Café Benelux
• Cassis
• The Diplomat
• La Dama
• Lupi & Iris
• Mother's
• MOTOR Bar & Restaurant
• The Wolf

Of course, what makes this event unlike any other in the city are the pairings from our 88Nine and HYFIN DJs. In collaboration with the chefs, they’ll pick a song to accompany the flavor of the food — tastes and tunes, working in perfect harmony. In addition to that experience, here’s what your ticket includes:

General admission

• Snacks and treats from Hill Valley Dairy, Purple Door Ice Cream and Whiskey Brown
• Silent auction with items ranging from arts and entertainment to food and beverages
• Gift-card pull from local restaurants
• Music from DJ DRiPSweat

VIP package

• First access to a premium whiskey tasting
• Sparkling white wine throughout the night
• A handcrafted, locally made cheese board

We’re already hard at work filling the room with great music and even better food, but we need your help to fill it with the kind of energy that will propel all of us through 2026. Radio Milwaukee members get early access to tickets, and you can be the first to know when the general sale starts by signing up for our email list.
