According to Rolling Stone, organizers for the event are similarly following in the footsteps of Lollapalooza by requiring โ€œa COVID-19 vaccination or negative COVID-19 test result within 72 hours to attend the fest, including on Wednesday Amphitheater shows.โ€ Per the official Summerfest website, masks are recommended for indoor spaces and unvaccinated people are encouraged to wear masks in large gatherings. However, kids under age 12 will be required to wear a mask, regardless of whether theyโ€™re indoors or outside.

โ€œWe collaborated with national health experts and music industry executives and determined this was the best course of action for Summerfest,โ€ said President and Chief Executive Officer of Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. Don Smiley in a statement.

Milwaukee Health Commissioner Kirsten Johnson echoed similar statements, โ€œMilwaukee World Festival has been a community leader and a tremendous partner in prioritizing the health of festival staff, vendors, performers, and attendees throughout their planning. We are pleased with their proactive decision to implement these additional safety measures and ensure festivalgoers can feel comfortable attending this beloved music fest responsibly.โ€
