What is Milwaukee? It’s the spirit of innovation and exploration that surges through a city where different cultures, ideas and perspectives continually converge. Sitting on the confluence of three rivers and A Great Lake, Milwaukee's water is a source of inspiration, a place to gather and celebrate, and a thread that weaves through our diverse and vibrant communities, stitching us all together. We collaborate—fearlessly, unfussily, with open arms. We innovate—boldly and creatively, but with reverence for the legacy of those who came before us. And we celebrate Milwaukee in all its forms.
