Dear VISIT Milwaukee Volunteers,
As the leaves start to change colors and the air takes on a crisp, autumnal feel, we extend a heartfelt welcome to each and every one of you for another exciting month of dedicated service to our wonderful city. September is here, and with it comes new opportunities to showcase the vibrant and diverse culture of Milwaukee to visitors from near and far.
Your unwavering commitment and passion for our city's attractions, events, and hidden gems are what make Milwaukee an unforgettable destination. We are immensely grateful for your invaluable support, and we can't wait to embark on another month of enriching experiences together.
Take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the city you call home. Share your favorite Milwaukee moments and places on our social media channels using #VisitMKE. Let's inspire others to explore and fall in love with our city just as we have.
Here is what September has in store for us.
This week kicks off Hispanic Heritage Month and, as always, our community offers many great ways to celebrate. We just launched our very popular Kid's Activity Book in Spanish, which we encourage you to use and share! Initiatives like these are part of our efforts to attract more Spanish-speaking visitors to Milwaukee, in part, so that our visitors better reflect our own community. A huge thank you to our friends at Latino Arts, who helped us with this translation.
