Not all Milwaukee festivals occur during the summer. Party for four weekends after Labor Day at the Bavarian Inn's annual Oktoberfest, the oldest and most authentic Oktoberfest in the Midwest. Enjoy delicious food and local brews, as well as music, dancing and live performances.

Visit one of the largest public museums in the United States. The Milwaukee Public Museum is home to interesting exhibits and attractions that will interest everybody. Learn about the past, from the people who roamed the Streets of Old Milwaukee to the dinosaurs who roamed before streets existed. Stroll through a lush garden and interact with the butterflies that call it home. Get a breathtaking view of the night sky and explore outer space at the Planetarium.
