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.

Food lovers will want to stop by the Milwaukee Public Market. Choose from a variety of high-quality artisan and ethnic produce. Pick up some freshly prepared, ready-to-go foods, perfect for a quick and easy meal. Schedule some time to take a cooking class from local chefs or nationally known cookbook authors.

For an up-close-and-personal professional theater performance, visit the Next Act Theatre. Their passionate and bold - and sometimes humorous - plays are notable for moving audience members. Four of the best new contemporary dramas and off-Broadway hits are represented during each entertainment season.
