Cheers to 25 Years!

You're invited to
Feast and Toast FAUSA’s 25 Years of
Cherished Memories and Lasting Connections

 

Thursday evening October 9 through Sunday the 12th.

 

Join us in Milwaukee to commemorate FAUSA's 25th Anniversary! Experience the city's vibrant culture, scenic lakefront, and rich history. The Westin Milwaukee, located in the heart of downtown, offers unparalleled access to the area's attractions.

Why Milwaukee in October?

Milwaukee shines in the fall—crisp lake breezes, golden leaves, and a city full of character. It’s the perfect blend of big city energy and Midwestern charm.

Unique Culture & Entertainment
From the stunning Milwaukee Art Museum to live performances at the historic Pabst Theater, there’s no shortage of enriching experiences. Tour the Harley-Davidson Museum or take a brewery tour at Lakefront—fun for everyone, no bike or beer knowledge required!

Walkable & Welcoming Downtown
The Historic Third Ward is packed with charm: cobblestone streets, boutiques, galleries, and the Milwaukee Public Market—a foodie paradise! All within easy walking distance.

Eat Like a Local
Warm up with comfort food and sample Milwaukee’s famous cheese curds, Friday fish fry, or elevated cuisine at chef-led restaurants like Ardent or Bavette.

Stunning Fall Scenery
Lake Michigan’s shoreline is gorgeous in autumn. Take a lakeside stroll or explore trails in nearby parks bursting with color.

Easy to Get To, Easy to Love
Milwaukee is accessible via MKE airport, and once you're here—everything's close. Friendly people, affordable prices, and a city that’s easy to explore.
