In Milwaukee, there is also a special ranger service that regularly cleans up parks and squares and watches for animals dwelling here. Hiking in an unusual city park can become an unforgettable adventure, as squirrels, chipmunks, and other animals don’t live in all parks of modern cities. In summer, city parks turn into open-air stages where music concerts and theatrical performances are often held. The parks located on the shore of Lake Michigan are especially attractive. One of them always hosts the famous music Summerfest.
Several years ago, it was officially recognized as the largest music festival in the world. Within 10 days, over 800 musicians performed on stage. The music festival was first held on the shore of Lake Michigan in the 70s of the last century. Within just a few years, it has become very popular and started attracting spectators and participants from different countries. In recent years, the Summerfest has been visited by over 800 000 people. Due to such number of spectators and participants, the fest was listed in the Guinness Book of Records. Besides music concerts, people can also enjoy other interesting entertainments. Here, you can attend lectures and conferences, meet famous performers, visit contemporary art exhibitions, and taste delicious dishes. The festival takes place in Henry Maier Park. Its total area is 75 acres. There are several dozens of stages, on which over a hundred performances are daily held. The largest music festival in the world takes place in the second half of June.
