VISIT MILWAUKEE

Wonderfully Random

The experience of visiting Milwaukee is much more impressive than the city’s outside perception. Milwaukee is modern and dynamic, yet impressions among people who haven’t visited often default to legacy images of beer, cheese or Happy Days.

The interactive approach brings the wonderfully random spirit of Milwaukee to life via classic city nicknames. Milwaukee has been called “The Cream City” and “The City of Festivals,” but why stop there? We introduced more than 100 playful new nicknames for Milwaukee—all rooted in unique, often unexpected truths about the city.
