Things to do in Wisconsin, United States: The Best Events
When you think “adventure travel” you probably think of far-flung places like Belize and Alaska—not Wisconsin. But if you’re an outdoor adventurer, you’ll find plenty of places to explore in Wisconsin. A vacation in Wisconsin can put you close to the Kettle Moraine State Forest, which has excellent biking trails. Or choose Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands—kayakers will love exploring Lake Superior’s many caves and shipwrecks.
Packers fans don’t wear those cheese-wedge hats for nothing! Foodies will love tasting as many of Wisconsin’s artisanal cheeses as possible. Either drive from cheesemaker to cheesemaker, or choose a Wisconsin vacation in a town with a good farmers’ market—then the cheesemakers bring their wares to you. And what goes better with artisanal cheese than craft beer? In Milwaukee, visit the Lakefront and Sprecher Breweries for tours and tastings.
Wisconsin Dells is a classic family vacation destination. A vacation in Wisconsin Dells will put you close to all the excitement—you’ll have to tear the kids away from the theme parks, wave pools and water parks in Wisconsin Dells!
Lake Geneva boasts clean beaches, golf, and a small-town feel that definitely appeals to city dwellers—it’s a popular getaway for residents of Chicago.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 130 reviews
Be transported back in time and experience 'all the fun of the faire' in Bristol's annual Renaissance Faire. Be entertained by jugglers, jesters, aerialists, and acrobats, and watch knights battle on horseback for the king's favor. Try your hand at axe-throwing, fire a cannon, and wield a crossbow before settling down for a show of fire eating, puppeteers, minstrels, and dancers. This is a festival where literally anything is possible.

Reviewed By EdM442 - Champaign, United States
A great two week musicfest every year. Make sure you download the summerfest App. The price is $20 to get in but many times they have special events to get in cheaper. I think they have 8 stages of music. Much variety to listen to. Stars from the 70s-90s and newer acts each and everyday.
