Now Milwaukee has way too many festivals to list so what is your fav. Milwaukee festival? Wether it's a church festival or Polish Fest what are some of your fav's.

I used to like St. Adalbert's church festival, St.Rita's, St.Roman's, St. Helen's polka fest. I also like Lakefront festival of the arts, Greek Fest, St. Sava Serbian Days, Irish fest, Arab World Fest, Festa and Bastille Days.

In the words of Michael Bolton: I pretty much like 'em all.

Hmmm, I'm not really sure. I'm such a loser I haven't gone to many festivals in awhile. Oh wait, I love Indian Summer, so I'll say that one.

I think they stopped doing the Asian Moon festival. Too bad, that was my fave.

Asian Moon festival was my favorite but apparently they are no longer putting it on.

Used to love Jazz in the Park, but I'm abstaining from it this year. So I'd say Locust Street Day.

Irish Fest. OMG! I don't know if it's the liquor or just because the Irish are so friendly, but everybody is welcome there. Indian Summer comes in at a close second.

The Frolics, just for the parade (although this year was kind of lame). Summer Soulstice on North is pretty fun. Locust Street Days, although the amount of yahoos walking their dogs through the middle of it drives me nuts. Bayview Bash gets bigger every year, which isn't necessarily a bad thing at this point. The block party that Burnheart's did on 4th of July was a good time.

From what I understand, the Asian Moon fest has transformed into a genuine street festival around the National/35th area. Not sure if it's a yearly thing still, but I hope so.

I'm not a big fan of the Summerfest venue (Maier Festival Park) for the festivals (too standardized and predictable), but as far as content goes, I've enjoyed Irish Fest a lot.One of these days I hope to go to Arab Fest, though I'll have to miss it this year.

I totally agree!

Irishfest is just a FUN, FUN, place to be...everyone is pleasant, the music is excellent and lively, the food is tasty and the beer is cold...what more could you ask for! This is where we got a great price on a trip to Ireland, too! Ireland is a beautiful, friendly place to travel!

And we also really enjoy Indian Summer...the Pow Wow is worth the trip, and I also really enjoy their Sunday morning service.
