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.

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.

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.
