Plan for a Great Waukesha Summer!
With Spring poking its' head out, it is time to look forward to Summer and all the Waukesha area has to offer.
Start with it's lakes. If you have or know someone who has a boat - use our area lakes. They are a tremendous natural resource, and there is nothing more restful than letting a light breeze drift you across the water. Fishing, skiing, wakeboarding, twilight cruises....Hmmmm - The Best! Plan your time accordingly: Most lakes are fairly busy after 11am on weekends. Get out on a weekday and you will have large expanses of open water and serenity.
Waukesha Downtown continues its' burgeoning growth in hospitality with new restaurants opening every few months. Some are replacements with a new faces and menus. Others are fresh starts who sense a Downtown revitalization as an opportunity for both diner as well as owners. Most are reasonably-priced with good parking nearby. Weekends you will be welcomed by music and the cacophony of groups of people having a fun time.
Look for the church festivals as well as the County Fair and more. Music, food, libations, great company - something for everybody nearly every weekend somewhere in Waukesha.
