With summer drawing to a close, we find ourselves feeling mildly unsatisfied because we never find the time to do all the summer activities that we planned on doing.  Just because August is about over and the kids are heading back to school doesn’t mean that summer is over quite yet.  If you are feeling like summer has slipped you by without so much as a courtesy wave, then check out what’s going on around Milwaukee, WI in September 2017.

The days have already started to shrink and with that the reality that summer is coming to an end starts to sink in.  As the nights grow longer, bringing autumn nearer with every departing day we lament the passing of summer but embrace all that autumn has to offer.  Fall brings cooler temperatures, Packer football and harvest season, and that means it’s time to find the best place to pick apples near Milwaukee, WI.

2017 Wisconsin State Fair Dates & Concerts

The epic 11-day Wisconsin State Fair is upon us and if you have been counting down until the doors open on Thursday, August 3^rd, then anticipation is at a fever pitch as you count down the final hours.  Spanning August 3^rd to August 13^th the Wisconsin State Fair is an immense example of everything our great state has to offer.  Taking over the enormous 200-acre grounds with exhibitors, entertainment, food and drink, and if you can’t make it to all 11 days of the 2017 Wisconsin State Fair you need to at least attend a day or two.  After your paid admission, there are 25 stages hosting live music throughout the day and night.  An additional cost is associated with the headliners performing at the Potawatomi main stage every night, and here are the dates and times of those concerts.

Gather up the troops this summer and get out and enjoy Wisconsin while the sun still shines, because we all know summer will be over before we know it.  We already are counting down the days until the kids go back to school but there is still time to get out and explore wondrous Wisconsin before the leaves start to fly.  Roasting marshmallows for s’mores and telling ghost stories around the fire make for lasting memories.  Siting on the edge of the pier in complete darkness looking up at the stars that seem close enough to reach out and touch.  Teaching your kids about the awe-inspiring constellations is something you’ll both remember forever, even if you can’t remember all the names of the constellations anymore.  Show the kids the stars at the best campgrounds in Wisconsin this summer.
