Things To Do

SUMMERFEST 2021

A must-see while you are in Milwaukee! With over 800 acts playing on 11 stages, you’ll find alternative, rock, country, R&B, pop, reggae, and more, from national headliners to indie bands. Your Summerfest general admission ticket ($23) gets you access to all 10 of the ground stages. Additionally, the American Family Insurance Amphitheater hosts some of the biggest tours in music for nightly ticketed concerts. All of this takes place in Milwaukee's scenic permanent lakefront festival grounds. A variety of popular Milwaukee restaurants are on-site offering tasty treats to keep you fueled up (get the Saz's sampler platter - you will not regret it) Due to COVID-19, Summerfest will take place over three consecutive weekends (Thursday-Saturday) from Noon to midnight, September 2-4, 9-11, and 16-18, 2021.

Milwaukee Brewers vs. St. Louis Cardinals

Cardinals are in Milwaukee playing the Brewers September 3rd through the 5th.

Discovery World

The museum focuses on innovation and technology, as well as Great Lakes education and conservation. It contains interactive exhibits, the Reiman Aquarium, and two theaters, and is home to Wisconsin's official flagship, the Denis Sullivan, a fully functional sailing vessel modeled after a 19th-century Great Lakes schooner.

Milwaukee Art Museum

The Art Museum is a Milwaukee must see! Its collection contains nearly 25,000 works of art, and is one of the largest museums in the United States. It is located right on the lake, we recommend walking into the atrium and spending some time outside along the lake.

Milwaukee Public Market

The public market is located downtown and has many different vendors. It is perfect for a quick lunch! Nick's favorite Vendor is St. Paul's Fish Market - get the Lobster Roll!

Lakefront Brewery

If you are going to go to any Milwaukee brewery, you HAVE to go to Lake front! We highly recommend doing a tour of Lakefront Brewery. It is the most fun brewery tour, and is a must see! Plan to book your tickets for a tour ahead of time, as they tend to sell out on the weekends. It is one of Kelsey and Nick's favorite things to do in Milwaukee!

Camp Bar Third Ward

Craving a northwoods dive in the middle of downtown Milwaukee? Check out Camp! Camp Bar is urban camping bar with a Northwoods feel. Voted Best Old Fashioned, Best Atmosphere and Best Bloody Mary. Also, it is one of Kelsey's favorite spots.

Colectivo Coffee Lakefront

Take a walk or drive up Lincoln Memorial Drive to Collectivo! It is Kelsey & Nick's favorite coffee spot. It is a Milwaukee favorite!

City Lights Brewing Co.

City Lights is one of our favorite summer spots. Sip one of their beers on their patio located on the Milwaukee river.

Sweet Diner

Milwaukee Brewing Company

The tap room at Milwaukee Brewing Co is a new favorite! Great atmosphere for a large group of people.
