Celebrate North America's largest outdoor French themed festival in downtown Milwaukee! Bastille Days is held annually in July and features impromptu street performances, roaming minstrels, a variety of musical entertainment and a signature 43-foot Eiffel Tower replica. Runners and walkers kick off the festival with the "Storming of the Bastille," a 5-K run and two mile walk.
Break out your bathing suits and head to popular Bradford Beach during the warm months. Located along the Lake Michigan shoreline, this beach is just north of downtown Milwaukee. Try your hand at windsurfing or kitesurfing. If the water is too cold for you, join in a game of beach volleyball or sand rugby. This beach attraction is a little oasis in an urban landscape!
Located in the old Eagles Club, The Rave is one of the most action-packed live music and nightlife venues bringing in hip-hop, metal and alternative bands from across the globe. The former Eagles Club featured a boxing ring with seating, a swimming pool, a high-end restaurant and a bowling alley, all of which have been redesigned and incorporated into the multi-roomed Rave.
