June 21, 2013 • Milwaukee Post • 7 Summerfest: Music, food and friends make it a popular destination continued from Page 1 tive rock and crowd-pleasing pop and everything in between. The music is the best thing about Summerfest." The 23,000-seat Marcus Amphitheater hosts the music industry's hottest stars during Summerfest, including the Violent Femmes & The Avett Brothers, FUN., Pitbull, New Kids on the Block, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Luke Bryan, Tim McGraw and the Eagles. Of course, that's not the only stage on the grounds. Milwaukee's cornerstone summer celebration brings the music industry's hottest stars, emerging talent and local favorites along with about 900,000 people from Milwaukee and around the world together each year for an unforgettable live music experience. During the festival, the spotlight shines on more than 800 acts, more than 1,000 performances, 11 stages, food and beverages, interactive activities and the Big Bang Fireworks Show live on the grounds opening night. Summerfest, known as "The World's Largest Music Festival," is open from noon to midnight Wednesday through June 30 and from July 2 through July 7. The grounds are closed July 1. "I get my friends from Chicago to come up for Summerfest, arguing that it's far better than Lollapalooza because of how much cheaper it is – $15 for a day instead of $50 to $75 – and often I can get in for free through one of the promotions," Carlton said. "Beyond that, it's the best people-watching in the city, the food is good and the beer flows heavily. Every year, I go at least twice and some years have gone as often as five or six times. It's affordable, fun and distinctly Milwaukee – something we can be proud of about our city." Tracy Weckwerth of Brookfield is an avid fan of Summerfest and depending on the lineup of musicians, will make the trek to the lakefront between four and seven days each year. "Summerfest is truly unique," she said. "Once a year, Milwaukee offers music in multiple genres, a variety of food and some of the best people watching anywhere. Over the years, I enjoy going with friends from out of town who have never experienced Summerfest to get a new perspective. The ground stages truly offer something for everyone and the festival is making strides to make it affordable." There are plenty of daytime activities and family friendly events during the 11day run. A few examples include renting paddleboats and viewing the festival from the lagoon, enjoying a show from the air with the Summerfest Skydive Shows, riding the zipline along the waterfront, watching and participating in the Summefest Parade, taking part in the Big Smile Photo Opportunity, joining in the interactive fan experiences in the #SFLIVE Lounge and dancing at the Radio Disney LIVE! visit at the Kohl's Captivation Station. "Plus, who doesn't love getting a Hawaiian shaved ice while watching great bands?" Weckwerth asked. "Summerfest is one of the best parts of summer in Milwaukee." Summerfest begins Wednesday By KEVIN PASSON Special to The Post MILWAUKEE – Summerfest, "The World's Largest Music Festival," will be held from noon to midnight Wednesday through June 30 and from July 2 through July 7, at the 75-acre Henry Maier Festival Park on Milwaukee's lakefront.
