Spring is an exciting time of year in Kenosha. Restaurants start to bring out the patio tables and chairs for outdoor dining. Boats travel down the roadways on the way to their summer home. Salmon fingerlings are released into Lake Michigan. We welcome you to visit!

CHEESE & BEER
Do you like Wisconsin cheeses, beers from Wisconsin and beyond, as well as great live music? This winning combo makes up the Dairy State Cheese & Beer Festival at Brat Stop on April 30. Over 45 breweries and three local home brew societies will be represented. This is a fundraiser that benefits the Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha. Make it an overnight getaway! Two nearby hotels – both in walking distance from the venue – are offering Dairy State packages, which include a hotel stay and festival tickets.
