Dear :
Winter is settling in beautifully in Wisconsin's Harbor Towns. The air is turning brisk, snowflakes are just around the corner, and the twinkle of holiday lights adorn our storefronts and streets. Now is the perfect time to experience our idyllic shores in all their winter glory. The holidays add a magical charm throughout our 1,100 miles of Great Lakes shoreline and we invite you to join us in this festive time!
Enjoy wondrous holiday events. Embark on one-of-a-kind shopping excursions. Forge into the great outdoors for ice fishing, snowmobiling, skiing and other cool activities that warm the soul! All of our 18 Wisconsin Harbor Towns guarantee a warm, Wisconsin welcome, and here are just a few examples of those ready to welcome you this month!
Sincerely,
Wisconsin Harbor Towns Association

MILWAUKEE |  A City of Museums & More
Milwaukee's museums have it all - and are all found on the water! The Milwaukee Art Museum's wings soar against the backdrop of Lake Michigan. The Quadracci Pavilion, designed by Santiago Calatrava, is just the gateway to more than 30,000 holdings. The Harley-Davidson Museum celebrates freedom and independence. See the "King's" motorcycle and swing a leg over a hog in the virtual ride room. From high-tech displays to aquariums, to the dock of Wisconsin's official tall ship, it's maritime heritage meets 21st century-cool at Discovery World. Potawatomi Bingo Casino offers excitement with 3,100 slot machines, 100 table games and an off-track betting room.
