Milwaukee is famed for its festivals, especially during summer. The Summerfest Grounds (Henry W. Maier Festival Park) host the summer’s biggest parties, and no matter what time you arrive, you’ll hear the buzz about the festivities. After all, it’s the world’s largest music festival featuring 11 days of renowned entertainment on 12 music stages, as well as great food and drink. Top acts play the open-air Marcus Amphitheater with views of Lake Michigan .

Celebrate Milwaukee’s rich heritage, including German Fest, Irishfest (the world’s largest Irish festival) and Indian Summer (the nation’s largest Native American festival). As you dine on Wisconsin treats such as beer-cooked “brats” (bratwurst sausages), seasonal brews, and fresh-picked corn over lakefront views, you’ll feel Summerfest’s legendary magic.
