AUGUST in milwaukee Jazz in the Park to Mexican Fiesta and the Harley-Davidson 110th Anniversary Celebration, Milwaukee’s must-do list for summer fun lives at VISITMilwaukee.org

You’ll find it easy here – all summer in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee has gained a new nickname in addition to Brew City – the City of Festivals. As you visit Milwaukee County this August, explore the county and experience for yourself why we earned this new title.

Milwaukee is a wonderful city to explore by foot. Whether you are a jogger, a hiker, or a stroller, our town has tremendous parks and neighborhoods.

The 162nd Wisconsin State Fair also comes to Milwaukee County this month, bringing amazing foods that include our world-famous cream puffs. Ethnic festivals continue at the Summerfest grounds and Lebowski Fest comes to Cathedral Sqaure.

Milwaukee has unique neighborhoods and commercial districts to discover. Consider a walk through Bay View, the Third Ward, Martin Luther King Drive, or Brady Street to get a better understanding of what makes Milwaukee special.

With particular excitement, Milwaukee celebrates the 110th Anniversary of Harley Davidson. With 60 bands, parties, roaring bikes and shows featuring the world’s most famous motorcycles, you’re sure to hear the celebration from anywhere in the county.

Milwaukee County offers world-class parks, golf courses, restaurants along the RiverWalk, baseball at Miller Park and exciting museum exhibits. Key Milwaukee is an excellent resource to help you plan your visit. No matter what you choose to do in Milwaukee County, I hope you enjoy your time with us.

You will find Milwaukee's lakefront an ideal place to begin. Lake Michigan's shoreline is naturally beautiful, and thoughtful leaders accentuated the beauty by making sure vast expanses remain open public spaces. Museums, memorials, and the festival grounds are great walking destinations along the lakefront.

There are a number of trails in the city. Along one of them, the Hank Aaron trail in the Menomonee Valley, you can walk to the city's newest park, Three Bridges. When you're on foot in Milwaukee you will find lots of people out there with you, enjoying every step.

Sincerely,

Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive

Tom Barrett, Mayor

Key COVER FEATURE

New features join annual favorites at the world’s largest Irish festival PEOPLE WILL GATHER from all over the world for the 32nd annual Milwaukee Irish Fest taking place Aug. 15-18 along Milwaukee’s lakefront. Whether it’s your first time at the festival or you’re an Irish Fest veteran, you’ll be sure to find something you love.

“We travel the world in search of the finest in Celtic entertainment,” said Patrick Boyle, executive director of Milwaukee Irish Fest, who visited Ireland and Nova Scotia this year. “After seeing many phenomenal bands perform in their home towns, we cannot wait to share their talent with our guests.” Here are the highlights you won’t want to miss:

Biggest names in Celtic music

At the heart of Milwaukee Irish Fest is music. The festival will once again bring in the biggest names and most popular acts to perform on 16 stages. Guests will be treated to traditional favorites, Celtic rockers and contemporary groups.

Not-to-miss acts appearing for the first time include The Willis Clan, an award-winning band of seven family members age 21 and under; Creel, the house band at Raglan Road Irish Pub in downtown Walt Disney World, and JPTrio and Niamh Farrell, a young, traditional band from Ireland.

Nova Scotia in spotlight

Each year, Milwaukee Irish Fest highlights an aspect of Celtic music and culture. This year’s showcase is Nova Scotia, the Canadian province whose name means “New Scotland.” “Given our history and unique cultural experiences, Nova Scotia has become one of the major international centers for traditional Celtic music,” commented Brian Doherty, president of Music Nova Scotia, which is

partnering with Milwaukee Irish Fest on the Showcase.

Nova Scotia is home to a very unique brand of Celtic music rooted in the traditions of the 18th century Scottish immigrants who arrived there after the Highland Clearances. Guests can expect a wide variety of the Irish and Celtic song and instrumental traditions of Nova Scotia in the Showcase.

Arts, sports & dance

Milwaukee Irish Fest offers much more than music. Guests can immerse themselves in Celtic culture, including language, arts, sports and Irish dance. The Cultural Village on the south end of the grounds is the hub for all cultural activities. Highlights this year include an exhibit on the Irish in Rock, a Hobbit Exhibit that explains how Ireland’s topography influenced the dwellings of J.R.R. Tolkien’s characters, and a Brian Boru Feilie 2014 exhibit celebrating the high king who united Ireland a millennium ago. Need help exploring the cultural area? Tour guides are provided at the Info Cottage.

If you love sports, Irish Fest delivers. Guest can enjoy tug-of-war and hurling areas as well as a sports pub on the grounds. Catch teams competing in currach races (traditional Irish boats) on the Summerfest lagoon.

Visitors interested in learning about traditional Irish dance should be sure to stop by the Dance Pavilion where instructors will teach you the basics of traditional céilí and set dancing. Or sit back and enjoy amazing performances by six Milwaukee-area dance schools.

Shopping, food & spirits

Outside of Ireland, there’s no better place to shop for Irish goods than Milwaukee Irish Fest. The festival features more than 90 vendors selling everything from soccer kits (jerseys) to fine art, jewelry, music and more. Be sure to bring your appetite to Irish Fest 2013. In addition to traditional favorites like corned beef, Irish stew and baked potatoes, new items this year include Irish-themed gelato and specialty coffees. For refreshment, try this year’s featured drink, the Jameson® Irish Whiskey Celtic Breeze.

The Children’s Area is the place to be for crafts and fun activities. Kids can try their hand at traditional Highland games or enjoy two family-friendly entertainment stages. Families can take a tour of Irish Fest with the Family Passport program, a fun and easy way to experience the entire festival.

4,000 volunteers strong

Wizard of Waukesha

Life of musician Les Paul celebrated in his hometown

LES PAUL REVOLUTIONIZED the sound of the electric guitar and pioneered innovative recording techniques used worldwide, but he never forgot his hometown of Waukesha, Wis. “I was on top of the world…and it all began right here in Waukesha. And wherever I went, I took Waukesha with me,” said the 1988 Inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, Les Paul’s career, inventions and innovations are celebrated in a special section dedicated to the “Architects of Rock and Roll.”

And this year, the musician/inventor’s accomplishments and loyalty to his hometown are woven through a special permanent exhibit at the Waukesha County Museum. Les Paul: The Wizard of Waukesha tells the story of this remarkable musician, from birth to his death in 2009 at age 94.

The exhibition “goes beyond traditional exhibits by connecting guests of all ages with his life story, including one of the biggest influences on his career – his hometown,” explains Kirsten Lee Villegas, president and CEO of the museum. “It’s like nothing else created to honor him, because it focuses on who Les was and how he thought, inspiring people to pursue their dreams.” The 2,000-square-foot exhibit takes guests on an experiential journey through Les Paul’s life, featuring eight chapters presented in the musician’s own words. A special section is dedicated to his mother, Evelyn Polsfuss, and to his wife, Mary Ford, two women who profoundly influenced him. Interactive elements throughout the exhibit include a Dream Wall, sponsored by American Family Insurance. The Dream Wall encourages guests to share their dreams with the world, as Les Paul did.

One-of-a-kind artifacts and memorabilia, including rare guitars, Les Paul’s personal belongings and original inventions are also on display. Several valuable artifacts on loan from the Les Paul Foundation are in the Treasures Gallery section. These artifacts make The Wizard of Waukesha the most comprehensive exhibit of Les Paul’s life in the country. 30

“At one point the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. attempted to work with Les Paul to create an exhibit, but Les always wanted his legacy to be preserved and his story told in Waukesha,” said Villegas. “The extraordinary feedback and support from our sponsors helped make that dream a reality.” Visitors to the museum and the exhibit can spend a day visiting other points of interest. A self-guided tour prepared by the Les Paul Foundation follows streets the young Lester William Polsfuss (Les Paul) walked and includes stops at the famous Club 400 bar, where Les played, and his burial site at Prairie Home Cemetery.

The Waukesha County Museum, 101 W. Main St., Waukesha, is housed in an 1893 castle-like structure that originally was the county courthouse. Hours are 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. Admission, including the Les Paul exhibit, is $7/adults, $6/seniors (62 and older), $5/college students with ID and teens 13-17, $4/children 6 to 12 and free for children under 5. To reach the museum, take Exit 295 from I-94, go south on Hwy. F toward Waukesha. Hwy F becomes St. Paul Avenue. Continue straight on St.Paul to Barstow Street, turn left onto Barstow and after three blocks turn left onto Main Street. The museum is on the right, with free four-hour street parking in front. For more information, call 262-521-2859 or visit lespaulexperience.org or waukeshacountymuseum.org.

KEY GALLERIES

MILWAUKEE’S TORY FOLLIARD GALLERY, 233 N. Milwaukee St., greets visitors to this month’s Harley-Davidson 110th anniversary gathering with a special exhibition, The Beast Within: Images of Animals in Tattoo and Contemporary Art. “The heraldic nature of tattoos has historically tied its imagery to the symbolism of animals, “ notes exhibit curator Fred Stonehouse. “If one could argue that tattoos constitute a sort of ‘psychic armor’ then this imagery and symbolism seems to make complete sense and the pervasiveness of it in tattoo design is understandable.” For the exhibition, the gallery in the Historic Third Ward focuses on animal imagery in the art of tattooists and other artists as a way to think about the possible correlations and overlaps between related practices.

Large scale pieces from the renowned tattooer Ed Hardy, exquisite hand-colored etchings of Briony Morrow Cribbs, boldly graphic paintings of New York tattooist Bert Krak and the Japanese-inflected works of Milwaukee’s own Jon Reiter are all be part of the mix.

At DELIND GALLERY OF FINE ART, 450 E. Mason St. on downtown Milwaukee’s East Town area, visitors will find an exhibition of exceptional 19th and 20th century American and European Impressionist paintings. Also on display is a collection of World War I posters.

RIVERVIEW ANTIQUE MARKET, 175 S. Water St. just across the Milwaukee River from the Historic Third Ward, is the destination for vintage art and photos from the area’s leading antique dealers. We love venturing north to Cedarburg, The area has a historic, picturesque look that has inspired scores of artists. Be sure to explore THE PINK LLAMA 32

GALLERY (thepinkllama.com) which has an address of W62 N580 Washington Ave., but is entered through the rear porch across the street from the red and white pagoda. The gallery features fine art, accessories and more as it represents more than 80 artists.

CEDAR CREEK POTTERY in Cedarburg’s Cedar Creek Settlement features handcrafted work of artists from Wisconsin and beyond. Also in the historic Settlement, LA DIVA offers jewelry crafted by the owner and features artwork that is perfect for gifts. LEAP OF FAITH inspires with its nurturing atmosphere and artwork from around the world.

In picturesque Port Washington, visit BLUE HERON ARTISAN’S GALLERY. The gallery at 102 E. Pier St. is located in a 1929 fire station building. Snap, Pixel & Pop continues through Aug. 4. This all media show is inspired by 1980s art and features neon, fluorescent, bold, geometric, color blocking, pixeling and pop art. Opening Aug. 9 with a reception from 5-7 p.m., a new exhibit called Get it in Gear also is open to all media and continues through Sept. 8. “The artists in the show are inspired by gears or anything with gears. See how gears have brought out their creativity,” says owner Bette Langford.

TATTOOS

JOIN US FOR THE WILSON CENTER’S 8th ANNUAL

HIDDEN RIVER ART FESTIVAL NOW FEATURING 100 MIDWESTERN ARTISTS!

of Milwaukee icon at Milwaukee Art Museum THE MILWAUKEE ART MUSEUM might not be the first stop for visitors to the Harley-Davidson 110th anniversary celebration this month, but it certainly should attract many of them with its first tattoo art exhibition. Tattoo: Flash Art of Amund Dietzel highlights the tenacity of an immigrant entrepreneur, and the vision of an original artist, as well as the endurance of a craft that has finally come of age.

Known as the “Master in Milwaukee,” Dietzel began his career as a sailor, where he first honed his skills as a tattoo artist. Eventually, covered in ink neck to ankle, Dietzel traveled with carnivals as a sideshow and made his way to Milwaukee where he became the region’s premier tattoo artist.

SEPTEMBER 14 - 15 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM TICKETS: $5 (FREE UNDER 12)

PLUS! HANDS - ON ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN & ADULTS LOCATED IN BROOKFIELD’S BEAUTIFUL MITCHELL PARK OFF OF CAPITOL DRIVE

Dietzel helped define the look of the “traditional” or “old school” tattoo, kept the practice alive through two World Wars, and passed on the best practices of his craft to the next generation through the decades.

“This exhibition is a great celebration of a Milwaukee icon, so what better time to have it on view than during a time when we celebrate 110 years of another great Milwaukee icon, Harley-Davidson,” said Daniel Keegan, director of the Milwaukee Art Museum. “I am excited to expand the Museum’s boundaries to include tattoo art in our galleries.”

Tattoo is curated by David Russick, with guest curator Jon Reiter, a local tattoo artist. Reiter has spent years amassing a comprehensive collection of Dietzel “flash” (tattoo design drawings) and peripheral Dietzel Studio material, and has written extensively on Dietzel’s life and career.

Maritime Heritage Festival celebrates ‘working class vessels’ FOR 2013, Port Washington’s Maritime Heritage Festival on Aug. 23-25 turns the spotlight on the historic and present-day working class vessels of the Great Lakes. That description encompasses a huge variety of ships – tug boats, fish trawlers, Coast Guard boats, harbor cruising vessels and charter fishing boats.

“These very interesting vessels are the work horses of the Great Lakes,” said Sara Grover, executive director of Port Main Street, Inc. “We're giving them the time and space and to tell their stories.” They will be available for exciting, interactive deck tours throughout the weekend. Grover emphasizes that “in addition to the historic and educational exhibits on the Great Lakes, there will be a lot of interactive activities for visitors, including traveling DNR fish tanks, water safety exhibits and demonstrations and the Coast Guards exhibits.”

The Children’s Area features "Coastie, the Coast Guard Robot,” teaching water safety in a fun, interactive way. Kids can assemble their own ship in the boat building area sponsored by Home Depot, then race them in special chutes designed from gutters.

And, it wouldn’t be a Wisconsin summer festival without musical entertainment, at this fest on two 38

stages. The schedule includes exciting headliners featuring Naima Adedapo (American Idol finalist) on Saturday (followed by fireworks!) and modern country band SaddleBrook on Sunday. Various other acts will feature a mix of Irish/Celtic, folk, bluegrass, pop/rock performers and maritime entertainers.

A downtown treasure hunt for tugboats and anchors guides visitors through Port Washington’s surging downtown business area and offers the possibility of fun prizes.

Those inspired by the festival to head for the water can take advantage of guided, interactive harbor tours aboard the Lakeside Spirit.

The always popular cardboard regattas are held this year at 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The regatta always gathers an enthusiastic crowd to watch and root for their favorite vessel constructed from cardboard and manned by a brave sailor.

Re-enactors add to the fun throughout the festival grounds and may even share tidbits of maritime history. A food and beverage court features a variety of offerings, and for the shop-till-you-drop crowd, there are the great shops in downtown and an Artisan’s Market.

Admission to the festival grounds at Port Washington’s harbor area is free. For updates, visit portmaritimefestival.com or phone 262-268-1132.

IT’S SAFE TO SAY no other corporate anniversary celebrations rival the worldwide celebrations of Milwaukee’s Harley-Davidson Motor Company.

Again this month, folks who love all things Harley will come to Milwaukee, usually on their Harley-Davidson, for the culmination of a worldwide celebration of the company’s 110th anniversary.

An intimate crowd of more than 100,000 riders will gather at the Summerfest grounds on Milwaukee’s lakefront to hear 60 bands on five stages Aug. 29-31, and they will be riding to all area dealerships, the Harley-Davidson Museum and throughout the region through Sept. 1.

Headline acts at the Marcus Amphitheater on the Summerfest grounds read like a “who’s who” of top popular entertainers: Tobey Keith on Aug. 29, Aerosmith on Aug. 30, Kid Rock on Aug. 31. Other stages are equally full of top entertainers from Lynyrd Skynrd and Blue Oyster Cult on opening night to The Who and ZZ Top on Saturday. All of the activities at the Summerfest grounds are ticketed events. Get details and tickets at www.h-d.com/110tickets. Some of the related public events include:

• Street parties, with the largest again on Milwaukee’s Brady and Water streets. Brady Street will be closed to traffic, with motorcycle parking only, from 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Aug. 30 and 31. On Sunday, Sept. 1, Water Street will be the party spot from 2 p.m. until 11:30 p.m.

• Spectators will line up for the 110th Parade of MDA Heroes Aug. 31 to see riders from throughout the world traveling from Miller Park east on Wisconsin Avenue and south on Milwaukee Street to the Summerfest grounds.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re up for it, consider tandem skydive in East Troy

SOME MILWAUKEE visitors crave a little extra adventure and excitement and a short drive will provide all they can handle.

Skydive Milwaukee, the home of the Sky Knights Sport Parachute Club in East Troy about 30 minutes southwest of Milwaukee, is open year round, but this is prime time for the organization, which was featured at Summerfest 2013. Whether you're after a once-in-a-lifetime experience, looking for an annual outing or you want to learn to skydive, a tandem skydive with experienced instructors is the best introduction to the sport.

No ground school is required. After a short video and a personalized briefing with your instructor, you'll board the plane together with a parachute and harness built for two. After a 50 second freefall from 14,500 feet, you'll enjoy a scenic 3-5 minute parachute flight, including a beautiful view of area lakes. USPA certified professional tandem instructors also offer video and photography packages to let first-time skydivers show their friends and relive their jump forever.

Sky Knights current hours are noon-sunset Tues.-Fri. and 7 a.m.-sunset on Sat. and Sun. For more information, call 1-800-382-4883 or visit www.skydivemilwaukee.com.

If you would prefer to watch others take the plunge, mark your calendars for the 6th Annual Cheese Boogie Aug. 8-11, a weekend of skydiving that brings divers to East Troy from around the country, along with a larger plane. 51

KEY GOLF

Think you’re a good golfer?

Head for the (Erin) hills By JERRY SLASKE KEY Milwaukee golf editor

SO YOU THINK YOU’RE a good golfer?

Try playing Erin Hills in Erin (about 35 miles northwest of downtown Milwaukee), site of the 2017 US Open. And then humbly report back to your buddies at the local club.

All real golfers love a challenge, love to see how they could do at those places where the touring pros play. This is one of those courses that not only will test your mettle, but your bravado as well. However, if you’re used to less than four-hour rounds, recalibrate. Don’t even concern yourself with the “while we’re young” USGA pitch designed to speed up play. With a caddie (Erin Hills is a walking only course; no carts to tote your beer) and even of you never have to search for your ball in the tall, dense fescue, count on at least five hours to play.

Not only is Erin Hills long – it can be stretched to more than 8,000 yards; for the Open it probably will play at about 7,800 yards – but the distances from green to tee are long and the elevation changes are considerable. And if you stray off the generous fairways by eight paces on either side (my count), add another 30-45 minutes and, well, a number of balls.

I’m told that by the time the Open rolls around the fescue will be thinned out so that a golf ball can be found and perhaps even advanced. In fact, when I played Erin Hills during a US Open media event in which conditions were made to be Openesque, there was a troop of workers culling the fescue. But right now, assuming you can find your ball in that stuff, the only play is a wedge 90 degrees to the fairway. 54

A good thing about all of this beautifully pristine landscape (650 acres vs. 110 acres at Merion, site of this year’s Open) is that it will be able to accommodate as many fans as the USGA will allow. Currently, officials are counting on at least 45,000 fans each day, but it probably will be more.

One local pro, who after playing Erin Hills recently, guessed that the winner of the 2017 US Open will shoot 8-10 under because of the “wide fairways and generally flat greens.” If that’s accurate, I can’t imagine how difficult courses like Olympic, Merion, Pinehurst #2, Winged Foot, and Oakmont must be where the winning scores in the most recent US Opens at those sites were +1, +1, E, +5, and +5 respectively. So check your honor scores at the door because Erin Hills is one humbling experience even at just over 6,400 yards, the distance the media played it. The green fee is $200 (more with a caddie) for this dose of golf reality. And after playing it, plan to get your tickets for 2017 to see how real pros play a US Open course. Visit www.erinhills.com for details about the course, including an excellent slide show.

For a bit less difficult and exhausting test of golf, but one that is just as memorable, try nearby (less than 10 miles away) Washington County (262-6706616, www.golfwcgc.com), or as I now like to call it, Erin Hills, Jr. It has a similar look and feel as Erin Hills with lots of fescue, rolling terrain, nary a

Key RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH

‘Get away from it all’ at Harbor House THERE ARE TWO WAYS to get the best perspective on Milwaukee’s iconic skyline where Lake Michigan meets the soaring “wings” of the Milwaukee Art Museum’s Quadracci Pavilion, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. During the summer, you can hop on a boat cruise that includes a tour of the inner harbor area. Or, you can dine at the Harbor House, 550 N. Harbor Dr.

ing and brick paving create a classy-but-casual ambience. Head here for cocktails, lunch, brunch or dinner, and cooling lake breezes. The restaurant’s bar area and dining rooms also impart a “mini-vacation” feel. Subtle nautical touches – tall ship models, brass trimming and the navy blue and white color scheme – echo views of sailboats from the wall of windows.

With the opening of Harbor House in July 2010 by the Bartolotta Restaurant Group, that location now has a restaurant with cuisine that matches the glorious view.
