Earlier today, VISIT Milwaukee presented an immersive virtual tour of Brew City featuring 30 videos that cover local traditions from Old Fashioneds to local art loved by locals and visitors alike.
Videos feature the voices of 30 Milwaukeeans who provide an inside look at what makes the city such a dynamic place. Narrators include County Executive David Crowley, Lakefront Brewery’s Russ Klisch, Alice’s Garden’s Venice Williams, 88Nine Radio Milwaukee’s Justin Barney, Bronzeville Collective’s Lilo Allen, WISN-TV's Mark Baden and more.
"There’s nothing like being in Milwaukee in person, of course, but we also know this year is unlike any other," says Peggy Williams-Smith, president and CEO of VISIT Milwaukee. "These 30 videos provide a look at our city through the eyes of the people who know it best from across the community, and we couldn’t be prouder to provide this experience to the visitors who couldn't visit in person this summer, including DNC delegates, donors, and members of the press."
The videos were created by local videographer Samer Ghani. Much of the music was provided by local band Paper Holland.
