You can't beat Summerfest on the Henry Maier Festival Park grounds. Continuous variety of entertainment to suit everyone's tastes. Delicious food from numerous vendors throughout the park with a wide range of cuisines. Ethnic festivals throughout the summer add to the cultural diversity of the city. The world's largest music festival -- appropriately named.

If you are in Milwaukee during a festival - go!!! Especially Summerfest. Where else can you see a variety of bands for about $15! Enjoy beer from Lakefront Brewery and foods from great Milwaukee restaurants. Add some sun and a lake. Does not get much better !!

the views of the city skyline are breath taking morning or night. It is a place that brings every type of person to one location during 4 months of the year. During the summer just about each weekend you can head down to the same location and experience a different festival.

This is the granddaddy of Milwaukee fun spots. Too bad it lasts only 11 days. Love the concerts, and what a bargain.
