    Have attended many Irishfest events here. Nice park with gorgeous views of Lake Michigan. The festival grounds are clean, there are plenty of restrooms to meet the needs of large crowds, the concert stage areas are well maintained. Parking can be challenging, but if you are willing to walk a bit, free parking can be found. Just know that the event I attendend accepted Credit cards only, no cash. It also did rain while we were at the Festival, no convenient buildings to seek shelter from the rain.

    Came down for Polish Fest. Janine and her staff always do a wonderful job. Good food, great music and all around good time. Happy to be back after a few years due to Covid.

    Went here for Summer Fest to see The Pretty Wreckless. There was a last-minute change to Chevelle instead. Although Chevelle did a good show, I was disappointed about the change. We paid for actual seats for the show in a balcony above that included two drinks. It's a great option to go with if you don't want to be squished in the crowd. There are also private bathrooms for this area which is way better than having to use a porta potty at a music festival. There were less vendors this year than last year. We went on the last day. Everyone was given free parking and there was a firework show which was fun to watch.

    I love concerts here ! Being outdoors makes it more magical. Incredible way to spend the evening. The view is amazing! Sure beats Fiserv's sardine can. Oh, n Darius Rucker is pretty hot, too.

    Was there for Milwaukee Irish Fest. The festival was outstanding. One of my favorite groups performed- Scythian. Also got to see Tallymore, Eileen Ivers and Glencastle School of Irish Dance. If you have never attended this festival, put it on your bucket list. Mark your 2024 calendar - 3rd weekend in August, 2024.

    Polish fest was amazing. Park so clean. Great location right next to the highway and right next to the lake.

    Summerfest 2023 was a blast! The weather was great, lots of cool stuff to see and great music!

  • 5/5 Eriks C. 11 months ago on Google
    Summerfest experience is to be enjoyed more than once, music, great food and more music is the way to spend 12 hours. Plan on spending at least $200 for this treat. Not including the cost of parking which is $30.

    Enjoyed the Irish festival this year. Very clean facilities, only complaint is there is not enough shade at the amphitheater.

  • 4/5 Ivan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cool spot to enjoy with family and friends! We went during end of the summer and it was Latin themed. Bands and artist came to sing 🎶 for us all and was packed. Tickets 🎟 were cheaper if you pre ordered online for family packs for the price of 1! Long lines to get things. But, well worth the wait for food and drinks too. 🍸 🍹 🌮 🌯 🌮 🍬 🍫 🍭 🍬 You can bring home some souvenirs too!

    Excellent space for concert, Fire from the God's, The Hu, Megadeth, and Five Finger Death Punch all gave spectacular performances.

    Always a great time, meeting up with friends and great music! Herzing University's own Hell On Heels! My boss! She's the best!

    Wear your sneakers. Summerfest is a blast. Plan for the weather. No place else to see great bands outside at a great venue. So happy you are back Summerfest! Smile On!

    The Maier Festival facility in Milwaukee has extremely easy access from I-794 and ample parking available. It is on lake Michigan though lake access is not available. It is set up for music festivals. Summerfest is held there, and other festivals. It is a big facility, can handle large crowds. Food, beverages, rest rooms, ample seating, etc are all available. A good place to enjoy music outdoors. Handicapped parking is available across the street from the main gate.

    Place is huge lots of parking, lots of food options. Enjoyed the beautiful on-site park felt like a kid again. Ocean views are beautiful you can walk across a bridge. Sky ride was the best you can site see everything from above you have the option of exiting on either end of the lift.

    Beautiful nite for Summerfest, easy parking, not too crowded, fun, happy vibe, food choices were the usual, but very pricey drinks, listened to a few good bands & checked out the artisans stands. A much needed & relaxing evening😊
