This Labor Day weekend, the "hopportunities" for free family fun are endless aboard The Hop, presented by Potawatomi Hotel & Casino. It's Milwaukee's newest form of public transportation, and one of the easiest ways to connect to downtown's array of shopping, dining and nightlife options. Whether you live, work, or just play in downtown Milwaukee, let The Hop be your guide!

Make sure to visit the Third Ward Art Festival, on Saturday, August 31 and Sunday, September 1, spanning Broadway, between St. Paul and Menomonee streets. With over 140 judged artists, live music and local food, the event is an end of summer staple in Milwaukee!
Looking to sample some of Wisconsin's best barbeque? Make the Big Pig BBQ Fest part of your weekend itinerary, located at the Henry Maier Festival Park, on Sunday, September 1.
