FATHER'S DAY PARTY! at Matty's in New Berlin

A Father's Day party at Matty's in New Berlin features Josh the Jukebox shaping the soundtrack around audience requests. Ask for any song from any genre and he will sing it. If a number is not one he can perform vocally, he will play the track instead. If it is not even playable, that request may need a second look. The vibe is playful and interactive, with favorites chosen by the crowd.

Diy With Dad: Family Woodworking

Celebrate Father’s Day with DIY With Dad at Fisk Avenue DIY Studio, a hands-on woodworking experience for all ages. Work as a pair on a single project, choosing from a birdhouse, a Best Dad Ever sign, a glue-up cutting board, or a live edge cribbage board. Approximate sizes are 8 by 8 inches, 11 by 14 inches, 12 by 10 inches, and 15 to 18 inches long. You will drill, sand, paint, and assemble side by side, then take home your finished piece. Each reservation includes two drink tokens redeemable for root beer floats, wine, or other beverages. Admission ranges from $52 to $101 per project, and tickets are sold per project rather than per person, with partner participation included. To register, purchase tickets. Refunds are not available for workshops. If plans change after booking, a one-time transfer to a different day is offered, or for select projects you can pick up materials and instructions as a Take and Create Kit. A liability waiver is required before starting, and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
