Welcome, Meetings & Conventions Attendees!
Some cities coast. We cook. Milwaukee is where you’ll find bold flavors, fresh city vibes and so much to do once the last session lets out. You can swing by a Milwaukee Brewers baseball game, fest with your friends at one of the city’s over 100 festivals like Festa Italiana, German Fest or the Brady Street Festival or kick it along the lapping waves of one Great Lake. Just steps from your hotel, you can find Milwaukee Flavor in over 200 locally owned restaurants, including everything from local staples to culinarily adventurous and James Beard-recognized chefs or see the sights at the world’s only Harley-Davidson Museum, the Milwaukee Art Museum or even catch a show in the Milwaukee Theater District. There’s so much to see in Milwaukee that you’ll want to stay just a little while longer. Consider this sign to extend your stay in the Cream City.
