Default Millwaukee rally?

We are heading out Wednesday and will get there Thursday. Just wondering how may people go to this, and what it's like. Looks like all the Harley dealers, the museum and the plant is involved. Is this a Harley rally! Kinda like the HOG rallies?

We planned to go to do the engine plant and the museum, and found out there is a rally going on. - kinda a cool surprise. Just going for 2 days and heading to puttin bay on our way back through.

Where were the riots centered and where are the places to avoid?

I don't know the answer to that, but would like to know too. Hoping all that stuff is over now.

(Map below). Here is the map avaliable on the Milwaukee Rally website showing the dealer locations, unfortunately I can't add where Sherman Park is on that map as it is locked.





(Map below). Here is Sherman Park where the incidents were. North Sherman Blvd and West Burleigh



Things seem to have settled down.

That would be Milwaukee Harley and the strip club is Silk. Ive never been in there but I hear its the best in Milwaukee. Pretty much all the dealers/museum have different events going on. Vendors, bike shows, live music, parties. Thursday night bike night at the HD museum is a good time. I know during the bigger anniversary ( 100th, 110th) rallies theres a parade and some of the streets downtown shut down for block parties. The riots were confined to a small area on the north side. Stay away from north side and you will be fine
