MILWAUKEE - Summerfest will move from its original June 2021 dates to give health professionals more time to vaccinate the general public.
Summerfest 2021 will be held September 2 – 4, 9 – 11 and 16 – 18. The festival will retain the three-weekend format, running Thursday – Saturday, three consecutive weekends. "While the progress made through the vaccine rollout is encouraging, we believe it is in the public’s best interest to hold the festival in September to give government leaders and healthcare organizations enough time to distribute the vaccine," said Don Smiley, President & Chief Executive Officer of Milwaukee World Festival, Inc.
