If you're anywhere near the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area in the summer months, then you already know the city is famous for having a million festivals at once. Obviously, Harley Homecoming is a major draw, in a city that's just about as proud as it's possible to be of its own homegrown, 121-year-old motorcycle company.
But although it's a major festival, it's not the only festival. In fact, it's not even the only festival that took place this last weekend. German Fest also lit up the Milwaukee waterfront with a massive fireworks display as a friend and I left the Harley Homecoming concert at Veteran's Park on Saturday evening. The city's 2024 Bastille Days festival already took place earlier in July, but has overlapped with the Harley festival in the past.
