MILWAUKEE, Wis. – May 4, 2021 – With spring temperatures slowly trending upwards, Lowlands Group today announced its patios will officially open for the season this Thursday, May 6.

Lowlands Group is known for its unique neighborhood grand café and supper club patio offerings, including rooftop, parklet, terrace, and even bridge, patio seating.
“Europeans embrace outdoor cafe culture year-round, and we were grateful to be able to activate our outdoor spaces through fall and winter as a unique byproduct of the past year,” said Eric Wagner, Lowlands Group CEO. “That said, there’s a particular magic and energy that the warmer weather brings to Wisconsin, and we’re so excited to celebrate the onset of the season on our patios and rooftops this spring.”
