A LETTER FROM VISIT MILWAUKEE'S PRESIDENT & CEO

Dear Reader,

Welcome to Milwaukee! The Good Land. The Cream City. Brew City. The City of Festivals. The Culinary Capital of the Midwest. The Gathering Place. No matter what you call it, I invite you to immerse yourself in all that our city has to offer.

Welcome to Milwaukee

Named the No. 3 best big city in the nation by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler for a second year in a row, Milwaukee had a busy year in the spotlight in 2024. Starring in Bravo’s “Top Chef: Wisconsin” and making a cameo in Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” the fresh flavors of Milwaukee continue to draw visitors from across the country and around the world.

Our city is set to thrive in 2025, welcoming incredible sporting events to our region: the return of the USA Triathlon National Championships along the shores of Lake Michigan, the USA Fencing National Championships at Baird Center and the first two rounds of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament at Fiserv Forum. We’ll also welcome football fans from across the land as a basecamp for the 2025 NFL Draft and host the 2025 U.S. Women’s Open at Erin Hills, one of our award-winning golf courses.

In 2025, we’ll greet new attractions like the Thomas Dambo troll sculpture in Wauwatosa, the new FPC Live music venue in Deer District and the first stages of the Iron District Stadium, which will soon host USL Championship soccer. The excitement is alive in 2025, and Milwaukee is waiting for you to experience it!

While you're here, I encourage you to experience everything that makes Milwaukee unique, like the world's largest music festival, Summerfest, and the world's only Harley-Davidson Museum. Discover our award-winning arts and culture scene and take in the Milwaukee Ballet at the Marcus Performing Arts Center, Widespread Panic at the historic Riverside Theater or a spectacular performance at the Milwaukee Rep in their brandnew theaters at the Associated Bank Theater Center. Visit the Milwaukee Art Museum on your way to Discovery World and top off your day of culture at America’s Black Holocaust Museum You can take in a Brewers game, watch Giannis dunk on the competition at a Bucks game or watch the Admirals score a goal at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena. There is literally something for everyone. But what makes our city special are our diverse residents and the warm and welcoming culture they've created. I hope you feel that culture is reflected in every interaction during your stay.

To make the most of your Milwaukee experience, we encourage you to take advantage of the tools Visit Milwaukee offers, including this guide, the visitors map and VisitMilwaukee.org for thousands of additional ideas.

SUMMERFEST

Rock out across 12 electrifying stages along Lake Michigan's stunning shoreline. Join the celebration across three epic weekends: June 19-21, June 26-28 and July 3-5.

CITY OF FESTIVALS

Gather. Celebrate.

In a world where cities constantly compete for cultural cachet, Milwaukee wears its "City of Festivals" crown with unrivaled authenticity. Our vibrant Wisconsin metropolis doesn't just host festivals — it lives them, breathes them and serves them with a side of Midwest charm and an ice-cold craft brew. At the heart of Milwaukee's festival scene stands Summerfest, crowned the world's largest music festival by Guinness World Records.

For three electric weekends in late June and early July, Henry Maier Festival Park transforms into a musical paradise where more than 600 acts across 12 stages deliver everything from heart-thumping rock to soulstirring R&B. Rolling Stone didn't mince words when they declared it one of America's "must-see musical festivals."

But Milwaukee's festival spirit extends far beyond summer's main event. The city hosts over 100 annual celebrations, each

weaving a distinct thread into the city's cultural tapestry, such as the Mama Tried Motorcycle Show, QWERTYFEST MKE and the Fresh Coast Jazz Festival. Heritage festivals like Festa Italiana, Puerto Rican Festival and German Fest honor Milwaukee's immigrant roots, while newer additions like Fringe Fest keep the calendar fresh and exciting. From the sweet simplicity of the Cedarburg Strawberry Festival to the artistic exploration of the

Milwaukee Film Festival, every weekend brings a new reason to celebrate.

As summer peaks, Henry Maier Festival Park becomes a global village, hosting a parade of cultural celebrations, like PrideFest, Polish Fest, Black Arts Fest MKE, Irish Fest and Mexican Fiesta. Each festival transforms the lakefront into a different corner of the world, proving that in Milwaukee, every day is an opportunity to celebrate life, culture and community.

JENNI YOLO HOME

Explore a vintage haven in the heart of Milwaukee. This charming boutique in Walker's Point houses a carefully curated collection of one-of-a-kind finds. The space accommodates just a handful of treasure hunters at a time who embody the same creative spirit that made Yolo a DIY design sensation.

Top Thrifting Tips

Milwaukee's own Jenni Yolo, host of Magnolia Network's "Makeover by Monday" (now streaming on Max) and founder of I SPY DIY, has been a lifelong DIY enthusiast. Her passion for design started early, inspired by fashion magazines that prompted her to create her own versions of the latest trends. Here are Jenni's five essential tips for successful thrifting in Milwaukee:

BRING PHOTOS OF YOUR SPACE

Before heading out, take pictures of the room you're shopping for. This ensures any new finds will complement your existing color scheme and aesthetic.

ALWAYS CARRY A TAPE MEASURE

Don't rely on the eyeball test when furniture shopping. Measure your space beforehand and bring a tape measure to avoid the classic mistake of purchasing pieces that won't fit.

FIND YOUR FAVORITE SELLERS

Milwaukee's thrifting scene is rich with options. While exploring shops like Clocktower Antiques, Antiques on Pierce, Good Land Antiques, Farm Girl Art & Antiques, Clinton Street Antiques, Dandy and Riverview Antique Market, pay attention to which stores match your style. Once you find sellers who align with your taste, visit them regularly to build your collection.

VERIFY ORIGINAL ARTWORK

When examining prints, check the lower corners and back for signatures. For framed pieces, look for framing information on the back — these details can help identify hidden treasures.

LOOK FOR AUTHENTICITY MARKS

When shopping for unique pieces like vases, pottery or fixtures, carefully check underneath for maker's marks. These can reveal valuable information about the piece's origin, age and craftsmanship.

Local Threads

Take home a piece of Milwaukee's soul: locally designed tops, handcrafted leather goods, bucket hats, artisan coffee beans and Milwaukee accessories that celebrate authentic Cream City culture.

The Secret Network of Parks That Changed America's Cities Forever

Milwaukee's forgotten Olmsted legacy reveals how one man's radical vision for urban spaces sparked a revolution in how we live today.

Hidden in plain sight across Milwaukee is a masterwork of American urban design that helped give birth to the modern city park. While millions flock to New York's Central Park each year, few realize that its legendary creator, Frederick Law Olmsted, quietly wove an equally ambitious tapestry of green spaces through Milwaukee's urban fabric — one that would help define how Americans think about cities and nature for generations to come.

Before becoming America's first landscape architect, Olmsted was a restless soul — farmer, merchant and journalist exposing the brutal realities of the slaveholding South. But it was his radical idea that cities needed vast, democratic spaces where both banker and factory worker could escape the industrial life that would transform America forever.

Milwaukee features something unique in Olmsted's legacy: a complete system of parks designed to weave nature through a rapidly industrializing city. Lake Park, a 138-acre masterpiece overlooking Lake Michigan, is the crown jewel. Here, rustic bridges span deep ravines, winding paths reveal surprise vistas and a historic lighthouse stands sentinel. The park's grand pavilion, added in 1903 and now home to a French restaurant, feels like stumbling upon a Victorian secret garden.

This wasn't just about pretty spaces. Olmsted envisioned a network of green spaces connected by tree-lined boulevards — like Riverside Park, offering urbanites an escape to the Milwaukee River's natural beauty, or Washington Park, designed as a magnet for westward development. Some areas evolved, with Riverside Park

adding athletic fields and Washington Park transitioning beyond its original zoo. The remaining spaces showcase remarkable urban planning.

Today, organizations like Lake Park Friends and the Urban Ecology Center (UEC) are writing the next chapter. Built on Washington Park's lagoon, the new UEC facility shows how these spaces continue to evolve, offering environmental education to neighborhood schools — exactly the kind of democratic access to nature that Olmsted championed.

The next time you're in Milwaukee, walk through Lake Park as the sun sets over Lake Michigan. Stand on one of Olmsted's rustic bridges. You're not just in a park — you're standing in a revolution that helped shape modern America, hidden in plain sight in the heart of the Midwest.

Family

KID-TESTED, FAMILY-APPROVED FUN

JOIN THE VILLAGE

Wauwatosa's Little Village Play Cafe combines the sophistication of a boutique coffee shop with the thoughtfully designed energy of a children's play space. Parents can savor lattes while their little ones explore educational toys and climb structures. Unlike traditional cafes, where laptop-wielding patrons might bristle at a child's enthusiasm, here, the joyful sounds of playing children are as much a part of the atmosphere as the carefully curated allergy-conscious menu and comfortable nursing stations.

Family-Friendly Freebies

Here's a truth about Milwaukee that deserves trumpeting: Some of the city's finest offerings won't cost you a red cent. While the rest of the world obsesses over $7 lattes, the Cream City quietly perfects the art of gratis entertainment.

The Marcus Performing Arts Center grounds come to life for Rainbow Summer — a free, five-day outdoor arts and entertainment festival in downtown. From vendor marketplaces to live music, this family-centric festival offers diverse activities for all ages.

Lakeshore State Park, the state's only urban state park, is a slice of paradise, sitting pretty against the downtown skyline. Here's where you'll find the city's relaxed picnickers, urban explorers and dog walkers, all against the awe-inspiring backdrop of Lake Michigan. Just across the lagoon, Northwestern Mutual Community Park at Henry Maier Festival Park stands as a testament to accessible design, welcoming visitors from spring's first thaw through autumn's final bow.

For those seeking salvation from Netflix-induced torpor, the Historic Third Ward offers the nation's current athletic obsession: pickleball. The Riverwalk Commons courts sit across from the Milwaukee Public Market like an invitation to spontaneous sport. And here's the kicker: The market itself will loan you equipment with nothing more than an ID, making "I forgot my paddle" the lamest excuse

in Wisconsin West Milwaukee Park and Froemming Park also have free pickleball courts.

Indoors, meanwhile, 3rd Street Market Hall has engineered what might be the perfect antidote to Midwest weather. This reimagined retail space — once the Grand Avenue Mall — now serves as an urban playground where shuffleboard, cornhole (or "bags," for the linguistically particular) and a Nintendo wall featuring "Mario Kart" exist in perfect, free harmony with local food vendors, craft cocktails and a self-serve beer wall.

And for those raising the next generation of art appreciators, the Milwaukee Art Museum recently received an anonymous $3.54 million gift ensuring children under 12 can wander its halls gratis until the end of time — or, as the sophisticates say, "in perpetuity."

Fun for Every Age

Your age-by-age guide to Cream City family fun.

For more interactive adventures, Betty Brinn Children's Museum lets children play pretend in fun, kid-sized stores and studios. Keep the learning going at the Milwaukee Public Library's Story Times, where various branches offer puppet shows and playtime, with older siblings welcome. Rest assured, Milwaukee truly embraces families.

Zero Proof, Full Flavor

In Milwaukee – a city whose very soul was forged in barley and hops – something quietly radical is happening. The town that taught America how to drink is now mastering the art of not drinking at all. Forget everything you think you know about mocktails. At Agency, there's no sad sparkling grape juice or glorified lemonade in sight. Every drink on their menu comes with a choice: spirit-forward or spirit-free. It's a concept so obvious you'll wonder why no one thought of it sooner.

But that's just the beginning of Milwaukee's N/A renaissance. Canni | Infusion Bar & Café and The High Crowd Cafe serve THC-infused bevies. Try a latte, lemonade or gummies to go. For infused baked treats, try Sweetly Baked in the Historic Third Ward.

Even Lakefront Brewery, one of the OGs of Milwaukee's craft beer scene, has joined the revolution. Their N/A Riverwest Stein tastes so close to the real thing that it feels like a magic trick. It's the kind of beer that makes you realize "near beer" isn't an insult anymore – it's a flex.

The crown jewel might be HoneyBee Sage Wellness & Apothecary Cafe, a Bronzeville spot that treats sobriety not as prohibition but as possibility. Inside a Cream City brick building, they're mixing drinks that don't just mimic cocktails – they create something entirely new. Think wellness meets mixology without the eye-rolling pretension of either.

The revolution will not be intoxicated. But in Milwaukee, it will be delicious.

CUSTARD GUIDE:

Restaurant Legend

Paul Bartolotta Shares

His Favorite Spots

Gilles Frozen Custard is my emotional favorite. It is proudly Wisconsin's oldest frozen custard stand, having opened in 1938. I grew up down the street from Gilles and have the best memories of going there as a child. The owner is also a dear friend of mine. It is a true Milwaukee icon.

Leon's Frozen Custard is my top pick for taste. Having opened in 1942, Leon's sets the standard for what frozen custard should be. For me, the true

Kopp's Frozen Custard is also a great choice in the Milwaukee area. They have a rotation of "Flavors of the Day" and three locations, so there is plenty of variety and accessibility.

Oscar's Frozen Custard also has three locations and a diverse menu with seasonal offerings, providing a fun experience for the entire family.

Inside the Mind of Chef Dane Baldwin

From his award-winning restaurant,

The Diplomat, to his recent appearance on "Top Chef," the James Beard Award-winning chef discusses what he loves about his hometown's food scene.

Describe the Milwaukee food scene in general. There is an apparent variety in what the Milwaukee food scene has to offer, and the backbone is that of the proprietor. There is a rich collective of independent restaurants, food trucks and other concepts driven by heart and soul. The layers of what can be discovered within these concepts are worth discovering.

What’s new and exciting about it?

The unveiling of what we already know, what the city has to offer in regards to hospitality and how great it is. Milwaukee seems to be getting more attention than ever, from conventions, national write-ups and celebrities leaving their hotel rooms to enjoy what the city has to offer. I'm sure many visitors leave feeling like they wished they would have set aside more time. Well, in the name of Midwestern hospitality, we'll always welcome you back.

Where do you like to eat in Milwaukee?

For breakfast, I would say Café at the Plaza and Jo's Cafe or Rocket Baby if I'm on the go. Honestly, grabbing a dozen donuts from Cranky Al's is probably the quickest run in our routine. Don't worry if there's a long line because it does move quickly. Dinner could provide a whole array of choices - Goodkind, La Casa de Alberto, Ristorante BARTOLOTTA dal 1993 and Bavette La Boucherie (great for lunch, too!) to name a few. Dessert for us is often custard and we don't have a lack of choices when that comes up. My wife, Anna, is from Bay View, so she's a Leon's person, and me, I'm team Kopp's. But when we can't agree, we settle on Gilles.

What is a can't-miss dish on Diplomat's menu?

Our menu does change as often as the offerings of the season will provide, but there are some mainstays. Our house burger, 'The Diplomac', has developed a following of its own, and it is on the menu year-round. We are also known for our Peanut Butter Pie and Knife and Fork Chicken (a whole chicken paillard with seasonal sides).

Where Brews Meet Baseball

Overlooking Left Field at American Family Field, J. Leinenkugel's Barrel Yard stands as a year-round destination celebrating Wisconsin's rich history of brewing and baseball. The restaurant seamlessly blends baseball atmosphere with brewery charm, featuring an innovative onsite pilot brewing system that produces rotating Leinenkugel’s pilot beers exclusive to the venue. At the helm of operations is pilot brewer Corrine Georges, now in her third season at the stadium. The three-barrel pilot brewing system has quickly become instrumental in the innovation of adding new beers to Leinenkugel’s portfolio.

The food menu showcases tasty ballpark and American comfort foods such as cheese curds and nachos, along with specialty items like a tasty Grain Bowl and Neuske’s Hanging Bacon. On nongamedays, visitors can grab lunch or dinner and even sit on the patio to catch behind-the-scenes of the grounds crew getting the field gameday ready.

On gamedays, visitors can pair their dining experience with all the excitement of Milwaukee Brewers baseball from inside the restaurant or from the patio overlooking the field. Open year-round, visitors can book a stadium tour before their dinner reservation, making the Barrel Yard a distinctive destination for both sports fans and food enthusiasts alike.

Must-Do Milwaukee Experiences for 2025 25

1 2 3

CHEER THE DEER

The energy at Fiserv Forum is absolutely electric on game nights. Even if you’re not a basketball fan, the surrounding Deer District has become the city’s newest hot spot for pre- and postgame festivities, concerts and special events.

GET LOST IN NATURE

Schlitz Audubon Nature Center’s expansive trail system offers six miles of lakeside hiking, and its raptor program lets you get up close with amazing birds of prey.

SAVOR A SPRECHER ROOT BEER FLOAT

Milwaukee’s OG craft brewery, Sprecher Brewing Co., is celebrating 40 years of business. Its famous fire-brewed root beer is even better in its tasting room, which offers creative float combinations and adult beverages, too.

MUNCH ON CHEESE CURDS

The Ultimate Wauwatosa Family Getaway

WANDERLUST DOESN'T HAVE AN AGE LIMIT, AND AN INSPIRED SENSE OF AWE DOESN'T HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE. IN THE CITY OF WAUWATOSA, YOU CAN UNCOVER THE MAGIC OF THIS MILWAUKEE SUBURB AND CREATE FAMILY MEMORIES THAT'LL LAST A LIFETIME.

THINGS TO DO

Just minutes from downtown Wauwatosa, the Milwaukee County Zoo sprawls across 190 acres, housing 2,200 animals in thoughtfully designed habitats. Watch lions survey their domain and otters perform their graceful underwater ballet. Don't skip the charmingly retro Mold-A-Rama machines for unique souvenirs.

Five minutes east at American Family Field, the Milwaukee Brewers deliver more than just baseball. The pregame tailgate scene is legendary, while in-stadium attractions include the beloved Famous Racing Sausages, speed pitch stations and play areas for restless young fans.

The warmer months bring an array of free family events. The Tosa Tonight Concert Series transforms Hart Park into an impromptu lawn party weekly with blankets and picnic baskets dotting the grass. HartFest celebrates summer with BBQ, food trucks and live music. Come September, TosaFest takes over the Village, including KidsFest, which features bouncy houses, face painting and crafts.

For the culturally curious, ART 64® turns the Village of Wauwatosa into an open-air gallery, where a live painting competition takes center stage. When winter approaches, the Wauwatosa Christkindlmarkt brings European charm. Heated beer tents with live music are nestled among unique European chalets and twinkling holiday lights.

Tosa Tonight at Hart Park

WHERE TO EAT

Wauwatosa masterfully balances family-friendly comfort with refined cuisine. At Blue's Egg, mornings begin with signature benedicts and stuffed chicken chorizo hash browns. For lunch, Loup serves rotating soups alongside fresh-baked French bread. When evening falls, Maggio's Wood Fired Pizza crafts creative 10-inch pies that satisfy both traditionalists and adventurous palates. The Village district presents a walkable collection of standout establishments. Le Réve Patisserie & Café channels French elegance, while Café Hollander brings Belgian beer hall energy and a perfect patio. Buckatabon Tavern & Supper Club reimagines Northwoods cuisine, KIN by Rice n Roll elevates Asian fusion and Leff's Lucky Town perfects the neighborhood tavern vibe.

SOMETHING FOR YOU

After orchestrating the perfect family getaway, carve out moments for personal indulgence. Wauwatosa's boutique shopping scene is not to be missed. The Village district houses gems like The Flannel Fox, where Northwoods-inspired merchandise meets urban sophistication. Shop Privvy, Mooi and Studio Ric Rack each offer carefully curated collections that reflect Milwaukee's evolving style. For family souvenirs, Ruckus & Glee transcends the typical toy store experience. This locally owned establishment stocks thoughtfully selected games, toys and puzzles that engage minds from preschoolers to teens. For mainstream retail therapy, Mayfair Mall and the Mayfair Collection house major brands under one roof. During the summer months, the Wauwatosa Farmers Market transforms into a bustling showcase of local produce and artisanal goods.

SWEET INDULGENCES

Wauwatosa's dessert scene has perfected the art of confectionery. At Ultimate Confections, master chocolatiers hand-dip their famous chocolate-covered Oreos alongside artisanal treats. Tabal Chocolate crafts small-batch, beanto-bar chocolate using ethically sourced cacao, while Niemann's Candies & Ice Cream continues a century-old tradition of handmade confections and creamy scoops. Delicious Bites reimagines classics with fresh cookies, pound cakes and innovative cheesecake jars.

Keep ‘Er Movin’: Charlie Berens

Author, journalist, raconteur, professional food taster, small-town bartender impersonator, retired pro baseball hopeful and funny man extraordinaire Charlie Berens is a modern Renaissance man. He wears many hats — mainly trucker caps — and is a keen observer of everything that makes Milwaukee unique.

So, what is the perfect day in the life of this humorous Midwest maestro? If he only had one day in Milwaukee, and anything at all was possible, how would he spend it? With an endless array of possibilities and every choice under the sun, what would he do in a 24-hour window? We turned to the man himself, Charlie Berens, to share his quintessential ideal day in Milwaukee.

“I’d wake up in the morning and go for a bike ride through the city from the northwest side through Washington Park. Then, I’d kind of kick it up over to the Oak Leaf Trail, pick it up over there, and take the Oak Leaf Trail down to the lakefront, at which point you can go north or south.

I've gone both, and they're both great rides. But, you know, frigging ideal day, you do both. Go south, down to the Seven Bridges Trail, and then kick it back north and go take that trail all the way up to Lion's Den Nature Preserve

But anyway, the incredible lakefront views and incredible nature right on the lake — Milwaukee has so much green space, so many cool birds to see, and all that — and there are a lot of great parks here.

I love being outside, so I would do that biking thing in the morning. Then, on the way back, stop at one of the beer gardens. There's one right on the lakefront next to the Milwaukee Art Museum – the War Memorial Beer Garden. And while you're at the art museum, you might as well go take a stroll through that sucker. I mean, that thing is awesome.

In this ideal scenario, there's both a Milwaukee Brewers game and a Milwaukee Bucks game, so I would check them both out.

And I would end the day by fishing underneath the Hoan Bridge, you know? Because in this ideal scenario, the salmon are also biting…or maybe the trout. Let's go with brown trout. I catch a brown trout at the end.

That is a full day. But it's a great place. Great town.”

3RD STREET MARKET HALL

Sample local staples like cheese curds and frozen custard, or venture into global territory with Venezuelan arepas or fresh sushi.
