The third weekend wraps up with Yung Gravy, Zach Bryan, Imagine Dragons and more headlining at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater – with plenty of others hitting the ground stages across the three days.
To guide you through the third weekend at the Big Gig and help you live your fest self, here’s your ultimate guide to Summerfest’s final weekend – from who's playing where to how to score stellar Summerfest deals. Now, get out there (pst, here's a transportation guide if you need some options) and have a fabulous fest! And share how much fun you’re having – tag us at @OnMilwaukee or use #onmilwaukee.
