The legendary Summerfest continues for two more Thursday-Saturday weekends, June 25-27 and July 2-4, on Milwaukee’s lakefront. Here’s the latest on the Summerfest stage lineups by day, plus ways to get discounts on admission, parking and more!
Summerfest 2026 is back on Milwaukee’s lakefront for its 58th edition! We’re talking 9 days across three Thursday – Saturday weekends packed with concerts and fun with well over half a million of your closest friends. Choose from over 600 acts across 12 stages on the 75-acre Maier Festival Park grounds. Upgrades keep happening, and the acts keep getting updated as we get closer to one of the highlights of the year!
Summerfest dates back to 1968 and has since become a major venue for the music industry’s hottest stars, emerging talent and local favorites, creating unforgettable live music experiences in a world-class festival setting. Running along Milwaukee’s lakefront nestled within downtown, the Historic Third Ward, Discovery World, I-794, and Lake Michigan, Summerfest offers not only music but over 45 food and beverage vendors, four marketplaces offering crafts and wares from all over the world, interactive exhibits, and just cool general fun.
Many of the food and beverage vendors are classic and popular restaurants and bars from around the Milwaukee area, and selections range widely from ethnic food options to a wide variety of craft and classic beers. Several stands also have a full bar with wine and spirits.
Northwestern Mutual Community Park includes a Children’s Stage and play area that offers a fun experience for the kids. Regular shows involving magic, singalongs, and other activities are complemented with plenty of equipment kids can run, swing, climb, and play on. During the day, Summerfest is designed to be very family-friendly.

Summerfest Parking
Parking lots are available just to the west of the grounds and throughout downtown Milwaukee and the Historic Third Ward. The Milwaukee County Transit System also offers “freeway flyer” express buses to and from the grounds from numerous Park & Ride lots in the metro area. The Summerfest Grounds can be accessed directly via I-794, U.S. 18, and Highway 32. I-43/94 and Highways 38, 59, and 145 also bring you within a mile of it – which is how far away some people park! Either way, it’s one of the greatest music festivals on the planet and a definite State Trunk Tour recommendation.
