All about Summerfest - the world's biggest music fest
Henry Maier, the mayor of Milwaukee during the 1960's, was so inspired by his visit to the German beer festival Oktoberfest that he came back to Milwaukee determined to create a similar cultural event for his city.
And that's how Milwaukee Summerfest was born.
Among other things, Summerfest is first and foremost a music festival
- one of the biggest in the world, in fact - a title officially bestowed upon Summerfest in 1999 by none other than the Guinness
Book of World Records.
Today, 11 different stages give almost 1 million annual festival goers ample opportunity to sample a wide variety of musical talent
ranging from small, local acts, on up to world renowned entertainers.
The local food and restaurant scene is also typically well represented, and attendees can participate in a
host of family-friendly activities -- including the spectacular annual "Big Bang" fireworks display at 9:30PM on opening night.
Shopping? You bet. Visitors can visit four marketplaces offering everything from clothing, jewelry, home accessories, artwork and more, incuding (of course) the Summerfest Store for official Summerfest T-shirts and other gear.
Have fun!
