Once a gathering place on the shores of Lake Michigan for Native American tribes to trade and socialize,
then a frontier outpost, soon a roaring city of immigrants and industrialists, and now a vigorous community
that balances urban excitement and small-town intimacy, Milwaukee offers rich rewards for visitors: vibrant
arts and culture, stunning parks, varied and well-preserved architecture, deeply-ingrained traditions of hard
work and hospitality, and a celebrated ethnic diversity.
If you're coming to an event at the Midwest Airlines Center, U.S. Cellular Arena or Milwaukee Theatre,
"don't-miss" attractions include the Milwaukee Public Museum, Humphrey I-Max Theater and Discovery World Museum;
the Milwaukee Art Museum and its spectacular Santiago Calatrava addition; the Miller Park baseball stadium;
Milwaukee County's glittering green necklace of parks, trails and golf courses; and dozens of fairs and
festivals including the world's greatest music festival, Summerfest.
The Web sites below are among many with useful area info. We recommend event managers visit these sites and
list them in materials and/or link to them from your event site, for the benefit of attendees. Wherever
possible, "deep links" will take you directly to the best information.
