Summerfest getting pushed back

The good news is I am not going to tell you another music festival is being cancelled ie: Coachella and Stagecoach, the bad news is Summerfest, typically held over 11 days in Milwaukee June and July, has been postponed to September…  more from Rolling Stone HERE.

“festival organizers announced that Summerfest will not be held in June and July for the second year in a row. Instead, it’s moving its 2021 celebration to September 2nd through 18th “to give health professionals more time to vaccinate the general public.”

“While the progress made through the vaccine rollout is encouraging, we believe it is in the public’s best interest to hold the festival in September to give government leaders and healthcare organizations enough time to distribute the vaccine,” said Don Smiley, President & Chief Executive Officer of Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. “We will continue to work diligently with civic officials and healthcare professionals as we prepare to welcome artists, fans, employees, vendors and sponsorship partners this summer.  Our team is excited to get back to what we do best, as soon as possible.”

Hope this doesn’t cause me any Riot Fest conflicts… Are you planning on hitting up any festivals this year?
