Local acts take stage across the fair grounds from noon until 7 p.m. daily on free stages, opening for national acts that close the night at 10 p.m. Each stage is sponsored by a well-known company like U.S. Cellular, Miller Lite and Harley Davidson.
The most popular acts that perform at the festival perform in the Marcus Amphitheater. Acts on this stage are at an additional cost, but free wrist bands for grass seats are available. Free grounds admission is also available with ticket prices.
Summerfest is at the end of June and beginning of July every year. The festival runs for 11 days from noon until midnight daily. Each day there is a different musical line-up.
Miller Lite, Lakefront Brewery, Cools, Leinenhugel's and Milwaukee Ale House beer are available throughout the park. Aside from martinis, this is the only alcohol available on the premises. No alcohol can be taken into the park.
Every year Summerfest starts off with the big bang. This fireworks display is the biggest one held in Milwaukee each year and can be heard and seen for miles.
