Nope.. I didn’t spell it wrong, we’re talking about Milwaukie, Oregon, a suburb of Portland. I’ll save my opinion on the quality of the beer that shares a similar sounding name.
Milwaukie has the feel of a small town, but is just minutes away from all that Portland has to offer. This was exactly what drew my recent clients to this community. It’s really the best of both worlds for them, they found a feeling of quiet and calm without having to commit to actually living in a small town or leaving the city they love.
There are a ton of community events in Milwaukie that are great for residents and visitors alike. The Milwaukie farmers market is an absolute gem! Every Sunday, May through October, you can find a huge variety of local food items including produce, nuts, bread, snacks, wine and spirits. Additionally there is an impressive array of local crafts and often live music. It’s definitely worth checking out! The city also hosts Fun in the Park and Carefree Sunday events that are great for all ages! As the weather cools you might be interested in their Winter Solstice event at Milwaukie Bay Park where you can watch the Christmas Ships go by while you enjoy the bonfire and some tasty treats. If bonfires aren’t your preferred method of getting warm you might consider warming yourself from the inside at the beer garden – I’ve never checked, but my guess is they don’t serve Milwaukee’s Best.
