Autumn in Milwaukee
The fall vibes in Milwaukee simply can't be beat! The energy from summer carries into the autumn months, bringing crisp weather perfect for hiking, leaf-peeping or dining on a riverside restaurant patio. Fall color traditionally peaks in the Milwaukee area during the end of September and early October, so you'll have plenty of time to admire the season's brilliant hues at apple orchards, corn mazes, and just strolling through the city.
