Last week it was PrideFest. This week it’s Summerfest. June summer festivals are moving to later dates as a result of a slow COVID-19 vaccine rollout.
“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 Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. president and CEO
Don Smiley in a press release Tuesday morning.
