Editorial Review for Henry W Maier Lakefront Festival Park – by Martin Hintz
Overview
Henry W. Maier Lakefront Festival Park, along Milwaukee's Lake Michigan shoreline, is the place to be in Brew City during the summer. With 80-plus acres of trees, eateries and performance stages hollering for attention, the reggae fans, wind sprinters and bratwurst eaters barely notice each other.
The Experience
Every year, Summerfest attracts almost a million guests who come to hear international musical talent, including rock-and-roll, hip-hop and doo-wop acts. The grounds also host a series of festivals celebrating Irish, German, Hispanic, Italian, Asian, Polish, Native American and Middle Eastern culture. Summerfest's Marcus Amphitheater hosts popular bands such as the Foo Fighters, No Doubt, Santana, Kiss, the Bodeans and Sting.
