Summerfest 2015, Milwaukee WI, The World's Largest Music Festival!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Platinum

I try to attend Summerfest each year, even if it is just for a few hours....Last night, for the first time in history of the festival, they opened the park early for the Rolling Stones Concert.  This year, weather permitting, I will try to go to the official Opening Day today.  We always have a great time.  I actually prefer to go earlier in the day, when the crowds are not so bad (boy do I sound old)!  Check out the line ups:

Kristin, I would be with you...like Disneyland, I went early and got the heck outta there when the crowds arrived and once was enough for me! I don't like huge crowds and my hubby would avoid this like the PLAGUE. But, for the music, I'd do it--especially if a galpal like you would brave the crowds with me! 

(I loved your line about sounding old....).

This event sounds awesome. I would have gone to see the Stones - even braving the throngs of crowds as I love their energy. Pretty incredible for old guys. Ha.

Kristin, The Rolling Stones will probably still be playing when you start collecting your Social Security, AND then you can really feel OLD!!!
