Racine & Me: Bend and Brew returns for fifth year
RACINE, WI (CBS 58) -- How does free coffee, beer and yoga with a view of Lake Michigan sound? You'll be able to enjoy all three of those things at this year's Bend & Brew in Racine.
Kelly Kruse, the Executive Director of the Downtown Racine Corporation joined CBS 58 to discuss this event and so much more.
Back for a fifth year, the Downtown Racine Corporation presents Bend and Brew, free outdoor yoga at Reefpoint Marina’s grassy park area at the very end of Christopher Columbus Causeway. Yoga sessions, which are led by Yoga Roots Racine, will be offered on Wednesdays from 6pm-7pm and Saturdays 9am-10am and 10:15am-11:15am June 1 thru September 28. After every session, participants will receive a certificate to use towards a free coffee or beer at participating businesses.
“We are thrilled to offer free yoga overlooking beautiful Lake Michigan. I encourage you to stay downtown after and explore all the amazing shops and restaurants.” said Kelly Kruse, DRC Executive Director.
Sessions will be led with people of all ages and skill levels in mind. Registration is not required, but plan on coming 5-10 minutes prior to start time to sign-in. Although this is a free yoga session, there is a recommended donation of $5 to go towards the instructors from Yoga Roots Racine. Please bring your own yoga mat or towel and water. In the case that Bend and Brew will need to be cancelled because of weather, all announcements will be made on the Downtown Racine Facebook event page.
