Summerfest_-_mkemag.jpg

With four seasons to fill up with activities, it is hard sometimes to choose between all of the events going on in the area. In the "City of Festivals," it all starts with Summerfest, an 11 day music festival on Milwaukee's Lake Michigan shore. The area bustles all summer long with a series of festivals that celebrate our diverse culture. But we don't slow down in winter. Ice fishing and outdoor sports demos, polar plunges, ice sculpting displays and competitions are some of the outdoor activities. The Holiday Folk Fair, Holiday Pops concert, and a great auto show are a few events that will keep you busy indoors.
