Our travel writers, editors, and contributors to Midwest Living are always on the pulse of the latest and greatest things happening in the Midwest. This June, we're especially excited about some unique concert experiences, new Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired treehouses, the country's first opera produced by Black women, and more. Here are the 15 things we're buzzing about this month.

Brockway Mountain Drive is one of the most scenic lookouts in the Keweenaw Peninsula. Photo: Felicia Fullwood The Keweenaw is a not a place you find. The upper peninsula of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, the Keweenaw feels like the end of the earth. (At the very least, it’s one end of US-41, which runs to Miami.) Reaching into Lake Superior, the Keweenaw Peninsula looks like a hooked finger, beckoning those who know its magic. It takes work to get here. There are no major airports nearby.

In Wisconsin, lakes shine by day, and the sky sparkles at night. That sentiment inspired our ninth annual Road Rally, this year in partnership with Travel Wisconsin. We built the itinerary around the state’s liquid assets and sent our Midwest Living team on an epic five-day road trip. We kicked things off in Lake Geneva before making our way north, stopping in Milwaukee and climbing our way up the Door Peninsula.

Our meal at Pier 290 in Lake Geneva had great vibes and great food. Just look at that view. Photo: Starboard & Port Wisconsin food is so much more than just brats and cheese curds (although there's plenty of that too, and it's all delicious). You'll find award-winning restaurants, inventive brunches, sandwiches stacked with artisan cheese, and luxe pastries.

Did you know the town is called Lake Geneva but the lake is called Geneva Lake?. Photo: Starboard & Port Every summer, a team of Midwest Living editors heads out on our annual Road Rally trip. This year we went to Wisconsin, where we kicked things off in Lake Geneva. In partnership with Travel Wisconsin, we created epic day-by-day itineraries for each stop along the way. It's always a whirlwind trip and we typically have about 24 hours in each destination, but we always make the most of it.
