You've Been Warned: How to Survive (and Thrive) in Milwaukee This August

| What To Do In Milwaukee In August |
Get Your Fest On (But Maybe Pace Yourself)
Milwaukee's festival scene in August is legendary. From the epic Milwaukee Irish Fest (because what's more fun than celebrating your heritage with Guinness and bagpipes?) to the lesser-known but equally delightful Great American Blowout (think cheese curd carving contests and dachshund races), there's a fest for every flavor. Just remember, hydration is key, folks. Pacing yourself between cheese curds and polka dancing is a survival skill here.
Pro Tip: Wear comfy shoes. You'll be doing a lot of walking (and polka-ing).
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
Embrace Your Inner Brew Connoisseur (It's Practically Law)
Milwaukee and beer go together like cheese curds and ketchup (don't knock it till you try it). Take a tour of the iconic Miller Brewery (home of the legendary Miller Lite) or delve into the world of craft beers at a local spot like Lakefront Brewery. Trust us, your taste buds will thank you.
Word to the Wise: Don't be a lightweight. Milwaukeeans take their beer seriously, so at least try to appreciate the finer points of a good IPA (India Pale Ale).
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
Nature is Calling (and it Might Involve Kayaking)
Milwaukee isn't all about beer and cheese curds (although, let's be honest, it's mostly about beer and cheese curds). Take a break from the festivities and explore the beauty of Lake Michigan with a kayak tour. You might even spot a playful otter or two (they're the official mascots of fun, after all).
Fair Warning: The lake can be chilly, so pack a swimsuit... just in case.
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
Catch a Game (and Maybe a Fly Ball...If You're Lucky)
Cheer on the hometown heroes, the Milwaukee Brewers, at their historic ballpark, American Family Field. The crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd, the chance to snag a foul ball – it's a quintessential summer experience (and a great way to work off all those cheese curds).

Heads Up: Baseball games can get a little toasty in the summer sun. Sunscreen is your friend.
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
