From cool breezes along the Lake Michigan shoreline to boating on Waukesha County lakes, there's no better time to live in southeastern Wisconsin than during the summer.
What's the best part about summertime in Milwaukee? Is it the festivals along the lakefront and the smaller, community-based celebrations? Maybe you look forward to tailgating at Miller Park or just cooking in your backyard. Let us know what you think!

Those hot Stalli-cats walking around in their tank tops and blue jean shorts.
Milwaukee Irish Fest! Headquarters are right here in Wauwatosa. It is known world wide and it is right here in our backyard. Hope to see everyone down at the Lake front August 13th through the 16th. Whether you are Irish or not, there is something for everyone.
Summerfest, State Fair, and everything in between. The beer tastes better, the brats taste better and people just seem happier!
End of summer and start of Badger Football games!
Warm nights, kids sleeping, cold beer in my hand, while watching the Brewers. AWSOME!!!
Everyone looks forward to the festivals and celebrations in Milwaukee. But what I look forward to in the summer are the other festivals in the surrounding areas. Like Strawberryfest in Cedarburg, and Cornfest in Sun Prarie, WI. Also another great thing about summer is I love sitting on my front porch early in the morning or in the evening and listening to my wind chimes. You know it is summer when the birds wake you up early in the morning!
It last only 3 weeks in Milwaukee. One week, if you live really close to the lake.

Driving ranges, walking outside without shoes, and the aroma of backyard BBQ's. State fair tops it all off!
