Cedarburg
25 Minutes from Milwaukee
Cedarburg offers an inviting blend of historic charm, creative energy and small-town warmth. Stroll Washington Avenue's nationally recognized historic district and explore more than 70 locally owned boutiques, galleries and specialty shops in beautifully preserved stone buildings. From fashion and fine art to antiques and gourmet treats, finding something special feels effortless.
Art and history are woven into daily life at the Cedarburg Art Museum, Wisconsin Museum of Quilts & Fiber Arts, Cedarburg Cultural Center and Cedarburg History Museum, each offering exhibitions inspired by the area's natural beauty and heritage.
Dining ranges from quick bites to chef-driven dinners and cozy cocktails. Families enjoy ice cream shops, toy stores and parks steps from downtown. Couples and friends can unwind with wine tastings, live music, or scenic strolls along the Ozaukee Interurban Trail and Wisconsin's last historic covered bridge.
Cedarburg welcomes visitors year-round. Winter Festival kicks off in February, followed by spring's Plein Air Paint Cedarburg. Summer brings the Strawberry Festival and free Friday night Summer Sounds concerts, plus Country in the Burg in August. Fall highlights include Wine & Harvest Festival and Oktoberfest, while winter glows with A Cedarburg Christmas. Named "Best Christmas Town in Wisconsin" by Reader's Digest and "Best Holiday Shopping Town" by Midwest Living, it's a must-visit during the holidays.
