It’s Friday in Milwaukee, and here are some things we think you should know about as the nation grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you would like your event to be considered for this column, please email info@milwaukeenns.org and put “5 things” in the subject line by noon Thursday.

Yoga Fest began Wednesday, Jan. 13 and will continue through Friday, Jan. 22. There will be a session at Marshall Community Center, 4141 N. 64th St., from 10:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 15.

3. K-pop workshop at Danceworks: Saturday, Jan. 16

Danceworks, 1661 N. Water St., is hosting a K-pop workshop. The class will take place from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 16.

If you miss this session, the workshop will be offered again on Saturday, Jan. 23 and Saturday, Jan. 30.   

4. Dog days at Lynden Sculpture Garden: Saturday, Jan. 16

Lynden Sculpture Garden, 2145 W. Brown Deer Rd., is inviting dogs and their owners to come roam around the garden from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 16. Entrance to the garden is free, and visitors are asked to adhere to social-distancing guidelines. 

5. Contactless pickup at Milwaukee Public Library: Ongoing

Last month, the Milwaukee Public Library announced it would be reverting back to contactless pickup in light of the holiday season. Contactless pickup is scheduled to end on Tuesday, Jan. 19.
