German Fest cancels 2021 festival
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact Milwaukee’s festival schedule.
German Fest Milwaukee Inc. announced Friday they will not hold their three-day event this year. It was scheduled for July 30 through August 1 at the Henry Maier Festival Park.
“It was not an easy decision to cancel for the second year in a row,” says Festival President Eric Radue. “Our Board of Directors took many scenarios into consideration. We deliberated for many months. Taking all factors into account, the decision to cancel was the best option to allow the vaccine distribution to take place and ensure the safety of our attendees and our many dedicated Volunteers at German Fest.”
