The wait for German Fest is a little shorter this year. We’re kicking the Fest off adding a new night of great entertainment and free admission on Thursday, July 24. So, I’m calling it an extended weekend and starting the party on Thursday with Usinger’s Family Night from 5 to 10 p.m. What’s better? I can still afford to come back all weekend since Thursday’s admission is free and Usinger’s will be serving up $1 brats and hot dogs (even I can’t resist). Cedar Crest will also have 8 oz. cups of Choco-malt ice cream cups for $1, but no chocolate for me, vet’s orders.
You can work everything off on the dance floor. We’ll have four stages of entertainment with 3 bands from Europe and Milwaukee’s very own Love Monkeys performing on the Harley Stage. There’s still plenty more for the whole family to do with kids’ yodeling and Alphorn playing contests too. At 9:30 p.m., the evening finishes off with fireworks thanks to Usinger’s, Bartolotta’s, and German Fest.
By the way, you only have to wait 9 days until German Fest.

No, we didn't ask for an album featuring another recording of "Breathe," leading into "Time," leading into "Breathe (Reprise)," as happens on tracks two through four on Live in Gdansk. But Pink Floyd completists (we are legion) will want it anyway. Howeve
Jorge "El Guero" Hernandez may be the best-known regional Mexican artist with Milwaukee roots. Most of a decade has passed since he and brother Rogelio moved to San Antonio, but El Guero's Banda Centenario still nurtures a unique take on the often-manic D
The last decade has not been kind to Milwaukee’s German restaurants, as names like Ritter’s Inn, the Bavarian Wurst Haus and even the venerable John Ernst have all closed their doors. In fact, only two of the old-timers remain: the oldest, Mad
If you’re not from Waukesha, you’ll want to check MapQuest for directions, but it’s worth the ride. The Rochester Deli (143 E. Broadway, 262-522-9611), wedged within the labyrinth of downtown Waukesha across from the Freeman offices, is
