weekend getaway

It’s time to redo — with style — the Madison experiences of your youth. Here’s what to see and do in downtown Madison.

Maybe you’ve already experienced a fish boil in Fish Creek, ordered an ice-cream cone from Wilson’s (an adorable century-old parlor in Ephraim) and hiked your heart out in Peninsula State Park. Is it time to venture to Door County’s quieter side?

Nestled a short drive west of I-43 between Milwaukee and Sheboygan, Cedarburg feels much more removed than it really is. Its quaint downtown recalls beloved downtowns of yesteryear, which makes it seem a more distant place – and of a more distant time – than just a half-hour drive from Milwaukee or 45-minute jaunt from Sheboygan.

Its close proximity makes it a great candidate for an easy weekend getaway. Pack your bags and make your to-do list. Cedarburg awaits!

Nicknamed the “Spirit of the Lake,” “Bratwurst Capital of the World” and the “Malibu of the Midwest,” this Great Lakes city wears many different hats.
