 What are the dates for Summerfest 2021?

Summerfest 2021 will take place over three consecutive weekends (Thursday-Saturday), June 24 – 26, July 1-3, and July 8-10.

 What are the hours for Summerfest 2021?

Summerfest is open from Noon – midnight June 24 – 26, July 1-3, and July 8-10, 2021.

 Tell me about the new Summerfest format.

We analyzed the charts, guest surveys, and the event landscape and ultimately determined that our fans have been asking for a bigger experience. The best way for us to meet this demand was for Summerfest to go to 3 weekends. 

Three weekends means:

• We have more national talent during the day and throughout the festival.
• A better chance to book the artists that you want to see
• A more consistent staff being able to keep our seasonal employees longer to better serve you
• Better chances of sunny days during unpredictable Wisconsin summers

Along with the same Summerfest experience you love – diverse lineup, food from local vendors, activities, 12 stages of music, all at a world-class lakeside festival setting.

 I purchased an 11-Day Power Pass for 2020. Can I get a partial refund?

You can request a price adjustment on your 11-day pass. The pricing adjustment is based on the price paid versus the price currently being offered.
