Milwaukee Winter Events 2014 | Things To See And Do During This Cold Winter

As the second weekend of February approaches, the month’s calendar at the Wisconsin State Fair Park continues to fill up. The state of the art exposition grounds, most noted for hosting the annual Wisconsin State Fair, has already welcomed the Great Lakes Multisport Expo, the Great Lakes Pet Expo, and the Spirit Group Badger Challenge and DanceFest this month. In January the venue held over a dozen events, including some first time attractions.

Over 150 vendors and businesses will be on-hand for the all things women tradeshow, which features the latest in fitness, nutrition, health, and lifestyle. Television personalities from the popular Real Housewives and Project Runway series will be address the audience in a special keynote speech, as will a number of doctors specializing in women’s health.

Two of the venue’s most anticipated events come to town on Thursday February, 13^th. The Drive-Thru Valentine’s Day Sale opens in the north parking lot at 5 PM on Thursday, closing at 8 PM for the day. Early birds on the 14^th can start buying their darlings the array of flowers and candies offered at 6 AM. For the serious procrastinators, the events goes through 8 PM on Friday.

The four-day Home Improvement Show kicks-off on the 13^th, as well. In its 57^th year hosting the event at the Wisconsin State Fair Park, the annual trade show is the longest running attraction at the grounds besides the State Fair. Running through 5PM on Sunday, the Home Improvement Show is one of the largest of its kind in the country, and this year estimates that over 300 national and international vendors will attend. Classes and demonstrations from top remodeling experts are also offered with admission.

Patrons can also hop on over to the Wisconsin Products Pavilion on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for the Wisconsin Muskie Expo.

On Friday, February 21^st, another of the Wisconsin State Fair Park’s most loyal tenants returns to host its exposition. For the 52^nd year, O’Reilly Auto Parts brings its spectacular World of Wheels show to Milwaukee, showing off a fleet of classic cars and the latest in automotive technology. The international tour is one of the most popular car shows in the world, and draws over 1 million attendees in the United States and Canada every year.

The monthly Rummage-A-Rama runs concurrently with the World of Wheels at the Wisconsin Products Pavilion.

Closing out the month is the Milwaukee RV Show. Wisconsin has one of the most rabid fan-bases in recreational vehicles, and the Milwaukee RV Show regularly draws crowds into the thousands. 300 hundred vendors will debut new models, accessories, and fun gadgets at the 2014 show, and even campgrounds will be on-hand to take reservations for the upcoming spring and summer season.
