Located about 30 miles northwest of Milwaukee, West Bend combines big-city amenities with small-town charm in one of Wisconsin’s most scenic environments, the Kettle Moraine. Known as the Geocaching Capital of the Midwest, West Bend is a favorite destination for treasure hunters with more than 450 caches within a seven-mile radius.
Access to over 1200 acres of parks, the Milwaukee River, and numerous nearby lakes makes West Bend a haven for outdoor recreation. West Bend’s historic downtown area stretches along Main Street with an abundance of locally owned shops, restaurants, offices, and venues in charming, old-fashioned buildings. Regular events in Downtown West Bend bring the community together, including the famous weekly farmers market, Music on Main, Fall Fest, and the West Bend Bike Race.
