Although German influence in Milwaukee has wained since the mid-1800s, when
one-third of Milwaukee's population were of German descent, German culture is
still very much evident throughout the city. Milwaukee, the largest city in
Wisconsin, is located in the southeastern portion of the state on the shore
of Lake Michigan. Famous for beer, Milwaukee is home to the Miller Brewing Company
and other smaller microbreweries around the city that offer tours. Summerfest,
an annual music festival that takes place in downtown Milwaukee, draws together
nearly one million attendees every July for music performances, comedy, international
cuisine and more. With its recent renovation, the Milwaukee Art Museum, which
was founded by German artists in the late 1800s, holds an impressive collection
of German expressionist paintings, Haitian art, modern art and classics from
the 19th and 20th centuries, to name a few.
