Summer Festival Travel: Ich Bin Ein Wisconsinite

Craving some schnitzel and accordion music, but pained by the exchange rate in Europe? Milwaukee was founded by German immigrants, so where better than there to celebrate German Fest, its annual lakefront celebration of German-speaking cultures (and sausage!), held July 24-27.

Show off your yodeling skills, watch the "Rhapsody in Boom" fireworks show nightly or jog off that sauerkraut at a 5K to benefit local food pantries. And your $13 ticket ($10 in advance) will not be pegged to the current price of the Euro.

In case you want to fit in a little music festival travel, The Police are also playing in Milwaukee that weekend, and we would never dissuade you from the sweet sounds of Sting.
