A city of festivals

Milwaukee is a party town. The city's largest and best-known festival is Summerfest (left), which brings hundreds of rock, pop, country and blues acts to play on 11 stages (summerfest.com). The Wisconsin State Fair near Milwaukee also is a big draw (be sure to sample a cream puff, a state fair tradition) (wistatefair.com). And Milwaukee hosts many annual festivals that celebrate the city's diversity, including Polish Fest, Bastille Days, Greek Fest, Festa Italiana, German Fest, African World Festival, Arab World Fest, Irish Fest and Mexican Fiesta.
