Summerfest Cancelled in Milwaukee For First Time

Summerfest in Milwaukee is being cancelled for the first time ever due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The largest music festival in the U-S was postponed until September before organizers decided to cancel for the safety of fans and the community. Milwaukee World Festival Inc. said it explored numerous options to ensure the tradition could continue, but with the uncertainty surrounding large gatherings they determined it could not be held. Summerfest generates around 186-million dollars. Ticket refunds are available at summerfest-dot-com and Ticketmaster.
