It’s finally that time of year we all pine for during the winter months.
Long days where the food tastes better, the drinks are sweeter and the music sounds best live.
Yes, it’s officially SummerFest season in Milwaukee, WI from June 22 all the way up until July 8.
Per usual, hundreds of artists from all genres — including big names like Jimmy Buffett, Zac Brown Band, James Taylor, Zach Bryan, Dave Matthews Band and so many more — will drop into Summerfest’s biggest venues: the American Family Insurance Amphitheater and BMO Pavilion.
As a courtesy our team went ahead and found all the best prices on tickets for concerts at those two major venues.
And we’re happy to report that some of are cheap.
In fact, at the time of publication, we found Summerfest 2023 tickets going for as low as $14 before fees on Vivid Seats.
