Food Concession Application

Summerfest typically looks for applicants that currently own and operate a restaurant in the Milwaukee area. In selecting a vendor for our program, we also look for diversity of product and festival experience of the applicant.

Because of Summerfest’s long history of success, many food vendors have participated for many years. On an annual basis, there are only limited openings for new vendors.

We are now accepting applications for the 2023 season.
