There’s no day like 414 Day. Every April 14, the city of Milwaukee celebrates all that makes it special – everything from the tried-and-true diet of cheese curds and beer to local touchstones like the Domes, bubblers and saying “Ope.” The casual holiday lands on a Monday this year, and the surrounding weekend yields a cornucopia of deals, releases and celebrations. (This isn’t the city of festivals for nothing!)Here are a few ideas and events to make the most of Milwaukee’s day.

As an esteemed poet and a retired professor of philosophy at UW-Milwaukee, John Koethe kept those two worlds separate. “I used to make a point of saying I don’t write philosophical poems,” he says. That hard line dissipates in his new anthology, Cemeteries and Galaxies. There are poems about philosophy, mathematics, astrophysics and other obsessions he’s held during his decades-long career.

“Any good music is good music,” Byron Stripling says. He learned that growing up in the ’60s – his father was a classical singer who also played lots of jazz, R&B and funk records at home. Stripling himself studied classical trumpet before dropping out to play with jazz greats like Lionel Hampton. In the years since, Stripling has emerged as the country’s premier classical pops conductor. He sees the role as a way to invite new people into the classical world.

Maybe you’ve seen him online. Baltimore knitter Sam Barsky makes sweaters of landmarks, occasions and more, and posts viral selfies wearing them. That’s how John Michael Kohler Arts Center curator Laura Bickford found him. “[The sweaters] invite other people to think about the places they go differently,” she says. The center’s new exhibition this month shows 26 of Barsky’s knitted creations, including the London’s Tower Bridge, New York and the Great Lakes.
