SUMMER FESTIVALS

Frozen Custard

The ingredient that makes frozen cutard different from ice cream? Eggs. Grab a cone at one of Milwaukee's custard stands for a perfect summer treat.

American Family Field

It's always a perfect day for baseball in Milwaukee during the summer because of American Family Field's retractable roof. Rain or shine, catch a Milwaukee Brewers home game (and tailgate) for unbeatable summer fun.

State Fair

An average of 350,000 cream puffs are eaten at the Wisconsin State Fair each summer!
