6 The festival season in Milwaukee is underway. It's a time to celebrate the variety of cultures, art, entertainment and cuisine that people from around the world have brought to Milwaukee. A number of factors contribute to the success of festivals in Milwaukee. We have splendid locations at our lakefront and downtown to hold big events. We have visitors and locals who turn out every year. Perhaps most importantly, we have dedicated volunteers who make sure the traditions continue. The cultural festivals in Milwaukee honor traditions and celebrate the arts. Unique dance and musical performances, history and great food are all shared with festival goers. While many attendees have family connections to the celebrated cultures, the festivals embrace everyone. We celebrate our family roots and we invite everyone to join in! Sincerely, Tom Barrett, Mayor For over 160 years, August in Milwaukee County has meant the Wisconsin State Fair. With more than a week of concerts, games, contests, and food ven- dors, the State Fair brings fun for all ages and the opportunity to try the famous Cream Puffs. In addition to celebrating Wisconsin, Milwaukee County celebrates its rich ethnic heritage at the Henry Maier Festival Grounds with Irish Fest, Arab World Fest and Mexican Fiesta. Warm weather may call you outdoors. Milwaukee County Parks feature beautiful scenery, concert series, farmer's markets, and special events. And, of course, you can watch the Milwaukee Brewers continue their outstanding season at Miller Park. As you plan your Milwaukee experience, KEY Milwaukee is an excellent resource for planning your time. No matter what you choose to do in Milwaukee County, I hope you enjoy your time with us. Sincerely, Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive FootGolf Combine soccer and golf for a fun day on the course! Great for all skill levels.
