Milwaukee in Fall

When Fall hits Milwaukee, you’ll undoubtedly feel it. Rather than losing the charm and energy that encompasses the Summer, the momentum is carried forward into the Autumn months with full rigor. Dining events and beer pass releases are brought to life, while apple orchards and corn mazes are ripe with delectables you won’t want to miss out on. The fall vibes begin to encompass the city towards the end of September and early October, and the roads are laden with withering yellow leaves and branches you can step on to hear a satisfactory crunch sound.

The 3 Best Fall Activities in Milwaukee

Kick Off Football Season with a Sports Bar Party

October is when game screenings and enthusiastic football fans take Milwaukee by storm since the NFL season is in full swing. Everyone is cheering on Wisconsin's Green Bay Packers in sports bars all over the city. If you’re a football lover, you can join the crowd, and you can enjoy a great football atmosphere without having to be in Green Bay. 

There are various sports bars in Milwaukee, providing their own unique advantages and vibe. Consider, for example, The Mecca Sports Bar and Grill. It has a high-definition 42-foot screen, making you feel like you’re watching a game live surrounded by your friends and family. Another sports bar that stands out is the Coffee Shop at Best Place Milwaukee, set in the renowned Pabst brewery and offering transportation services to major sporting events in the city. 

Oktoberfest

Have you ever wished to visit Germany but can’t seem to obtain the funds for it? Don’t worry because Milwaukee’s annual Oktoberfest has it all. There’s bratwurst, German craft beers, lederhosen, live polka music, and sauerkraut- all your dreams can come true at this German beer festival replica. 

It’s also family-friendly, featuring numerous activities, such as live bands, folk dancing, and traditional contests like a brat-eating competition, Dachshund races, and Miss Oktoberfest. Looking for things to do in Milwaukee in the first week of October? You have your answer right here. And here’s another catch: it’s free, so don’t miss out on some of the best entertainment here in Fall. 

Visit a Brewery

During the twentieth century’s first half, Milwaukee held the title of being home to four of the largest breweries worldwide. It’s no surprise that the city’s beer culture is still thriving, with local breweries everywhere and unique beers waiting to be tasted. Want a brewery tour that offers craft beers and local food tastings? Visit Good City Brewing, situated on the East Side of Milwaukee and discover their taproom or take in the mesmerizing view from their rooftop patio. 

We recommend the Miller Brewery tours if you’re looking for a distinct beer experience in the city. Not only will you get to see the modern production lines, but you can also visit the historic brewing areas and the caves where they chill the beer, with a cold brew in hand and a guide who explains everything in detail. We also have to mention the Historic Third Ward District, which includes various bars serving delicious beers produced in Wisconsin.
