A sculpture in City Hall s courtyard celebrates the families and many family oriented activities found in the city. West Allis is home of Wisconsin State Fair Park, Pettit National Ice Center and the Milwaukee Mile, some of the most popular tourist destinations. The annual Western Days celebration in June supports area charities and features what is billed as the world s longest non-motorized parade. The popular Farmers Market is another hub of activity.
Residents can participate in many civic and community organizations and service groups.
Although the business that gave the city its name is no longer part of it, many other booming businesses are, as well as many restaurants and retail areas as well as a busy downtown.
