by We talk with Meridith Jumisko from Visit Kenosha about Kenosha’s Restaurant Week – happening February 22 – March 2 this year – and then dive into everything about Kenosha from history and museums to the dizzying array of things to do and see, all tucked into Wisconsin’s SE corner.
Kenosha is Wisconsin’s 4th largest city, right in the state’s SE corner smack dab between Milwaukee and Chicago. This dynamic city has flavors of both Wisconsin and Illinois, with Lake Michigan fun, a dynamic downtown, and unexpected gems to boot. Museums showcase Kenosha’s history from Wooly Mammoths to dinosaurs as well as the making of cars, mattresses, underwear, tools, and more.
It’s still a manufacturing powerhouse and the area plays as hard as it works. It features the Nation’s Oldest Velodrome – a mecca for bike racing – as well as natural wonders from Lake Michigan beaches to inland parks with prairies, springs, and forest to explore. Craft breweries, college and semi-pro sports, classic delis, food trucks and festivals around food, cars, marathons and more offer options a’plenty. A vibrant and diversifying restaurant scene means Kenosha has palate-pleasing options from across the world, whether you want a fusion of foods from distant continents or a good old fashioned amazing cheeseburger and a shake from a classic drive-in. We cover several events too, including the 2025 Kenosha Homecoming Car Show and Taste of Wisconsin, both of which happen in late July – neither of which should be missed!
Starting with Kenosha Restaurant Week (which runs February 22nd through March 2nd this year with around 80 establishments participating!) and then getting into everything else, we talk with Meridith Jumisko from Visit Kenosha to cover it all. Road trips on I-41/94, U.S. 45, Highway 32, 50, 83, 142, 158, 165 and many county, rustic, and back roads offer plenty of cool places to visit!
