Whether you’re looking for great food, live entertainment, or unique local experiences, these summer festivals are worth adding to your calendar before the season comes to an end.
Wisconsin State Fair
One of Wisconsin’s most iconic summer traditions, the Wisconsin State Fair in nearby West Allis offers something for everyone.

Located less than 15 minutes from Greenfield, the State Fair is an easy destination for families looking to spend a full day enjoying Wisconsin traditions.
German Fest
Held along Milwaukee’s beautiful lakefront, German Fest celebrates the city’s rich German heritage with authentic food, music, dancing, cultural exhibits, and family activities.
Visitors can sample traditional German cuisine, browse local vendors, and enjoy live performances while taking in scenic views of Lake Michigan.
Irish Fest
Known as the world’s largest celebration of Irish culture, Milwaukee Irish Fest attracts visitors from across the country each summer.
Held at Henry Maier Festival Park, the event features multiple stages of live music, cultural demonstrations, Irish dancing, shopping, food vendors, and activities for children. Whether you’re Irish or simply enjoy great entertainment, it’s a memorable way to spend a summer weekend.
Greenfield Farmers Market
If you’re looking for something closer to home, the Greenfield Farmers Market is a great way to support local businesses while enjoying fresh produce, baked goods, handmade products, and seasonal treats.
It’s an excellent Saturday morning destination before heading out for the rest of your weekend adventures.
Brady Street Festival
Brady Street comes alive each summer with one of Milwaukee’s most popular neighborhood festivals. Visitors can enjoy live music throughout the day, local restaurants, artisan vendors, and a vibrant community atmosphere that showcases one of the city’s most unique neighborhoods.
Make the Drive Part of the Fun
Summer festivals often mean spending hours in your vehicle traveling between destinations, finding parking, and bringing home bags filled with local purchases. Having a comfortable, fuel-efficient vehicle helps make every outing even more enjoyable.
The Honda Civic and Honda Accord offer excellent fuel efficiency for city driving, while the Honda CR-V and Honda Pilot provide extra cargo space for folding chairs, coolers, strollers, shopping bags, and everything else you need for a day at the festival.
Honda SensingĀ® driver-assistance technologies, smartphone connectivity, and comfortable seating help make every drive just as enjoyable as the event itself.
