Home to Summerfest, the world's largest music festival, and a host of ethnic and cultural events, Milwaukee is a true American city. Old and new worlds blend across the urban landscape from busy downtown corridors to ethnic neighborhoods filled with small shops and eateries. And while Milwaukee still maintains a strong German heritage, it has also embraced the other diverse communities that have come to call it home. Visitors have a chance to explore this eclectic blend of cultures through food, entertainment and a wealth of seasonal events. Recent projects like the expansion of the Milwaukee Art Museum have put the city known mostly for industries like Harley Davidson and Miller Brewing Co. on the national radar. And whether you're enjoying beers at Miller Park or sipping martinis at the High Hat Lounge, you'll find that this city of nearly 600,000 (America's 19th largest) still has a small-town feel.
