Tour-goers will be able to take advantage of the area's many dining and entertainment opportunities, including the Milwaukee RiverWalk, a 2-mile excursion that winds along the river with access to some of the city's best restaurants, brewpubs, shops and waterfront nightlife. The walk is also home to an outdoor art gallery, RiverSculpture, spotlighting permanent pieces and temporary installations.

The final day of this year's tour is the first day of Summerfest, which claims to be the world's largest music festival and features more than 800 acts and 1,000 performances on 11 stages across 11 days on the lakefront in Milwaukee.

More details about the GCA Summer Tour Milwaukee will be announced in the coming months. For more information about Garden Centers of America, visit www.GardenCentersofAmerica.com
