Milwaukee is Open
and It Needs You
In a normal year, summer in Milwaukee
means restaurants packed with locals, tourists,
and convention attendees, festival grounds
bursting with the sounds of Milwaukee's many
cultures, and the annual economic boost that
goes hand-in-hand with Milwaukee's sublime
summer weather. Of course, this year is
anything but normal.
The economic effects of the pandemic have
been exceptionally severe for independently
owned businesses, especially restaurants in
our downtown neighborhoods, which would
normally be filled with employees at work.
But VISIT Milwaukee is proud to share that
these businesses
have adapted and
implemented dozens
of measures to keep
all of us safe.
From wearing a
mask in public to
committing to keep your dollars in Milwaukee,
recovering from this pandemic will require a
concentrated, collective effort. We at VISIT
Milwaukee and KEY Milwaukee are calling
on you to show your support for Milwaukee's
incredible hospitality community.
Here are three ways to support our
community:
• Order takeout from a restaurant.
• Patronize a business that has safely
re-opened.
•
Stay committed to shopping local and
investing in our city.
It is only together that we can ensure
Milwaukee thrives.
