For $20, today's side deal gets you two tickets to the Milwaukee German Fest, plus one $15 voucher for food and beverage (a $41 total value), at the lakefront's Henry W. Maier Festival Park. This Groupon gets you and a friend admission to the festival Friday, July 23, through Sunday, July 25 (admission is free on Thursday, July 22, for everyone), and lets you choose from three dates to use your $15 food and beverage voucher (the voucher can only be redeemed on the selected date, and you must go to the German Fest offices on Capitol Drive before July 19 to pick it up):

• Friday, July 23
• Saturday, July 24
• Sunday, July 25

German Fest is a celebration of culture through food and drink, live entertainment, and all kinds of family fun and shenanigans. Use your voucher toward bratwurst, gulasch, dumplings, potato pancakes, pork chops, desserts, and more. To wash down these hearty helpings, head to the beer garden at the north end of the grounds. On the south end of the fest, there is a carnival with games and rides.

While at German Fest, witness the 25th year of the Glockenspiel—a life-sized replica of a cuckoo clock with five men and a button-box player who dance, drink, and capture the still-beating hearts of festgoers—at select times. While strolling along the beautiful lakeside, you can also enjoy fireworks every night. Check out the event's four-day schedule here, and the restrictions on the grounds here.
