MILWAUKEE — Summerfest is offering a shuttle service to and from the festival this year.

Last week, Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. announced it secured a private operator to offer bus shuttle transportation to Summerfest during the nine days of the festival. 

The Summerfest Shuttle will offer multiple options for fest-goers, including:

• College Avenue: College Avenue at I-94 (both lots)

• State Fair Park: I-94.S. 76th Street & W. Kearney

• Brown Deer: East Brown Deer Road, west of I-43

The drop off and pick up location at Summerfest is located west of the Summerfest mid-gate. The service will operate beginning at 11 a.m. and run continuously throughout the day, approximately every 30 minutes.

Round-trip fare is $12. Riders are encouraged to pre-purchase round-trip ride tickets at Summerfest.com, or upon exiting the bus, pay upon arrival at Summerfest. Only debit or credit cards will be accepted. 

Pre-paid riders must present their online purchase bar code at the Summerfest kiosk to receive the round-trip ride wristband. Shuttle passengers will receive wristbands, which are mandatory to show when getting back on the bus to the park and ride lot. If a rider does not have a wristband after leaving Summerfest, they can purchase one for the full-price fare.

Riders are also encouraged to wear masks while riding the Summerfest shuttle.

Shuttles will not be available during the Wednesday weekend kick-off concerts.
