Costs had climbed to more than $800,000 annually for MPD, but festival paid for little of it. By Jeramey Jannene - Jun 24th, 2021 07:00 pm //end headline wrapper ?>Summerfest from the sky glider. Photo by Alison Peterson.
The City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee Police Department and Summerfest have a new agreement to cover the rising security costs associated with the music festival.
The deal will place the festival on the same terms as the Milwaukee Bucks and Milwaukee Brewers, which reimburse the city for their police and fire personnel costs.
Milwaukee World Festival, Inc., which hosts Summerfest, already has an agreement to lease the 75-acre festival grounds from the city that runs through 2030 and, since a 2009 amendment, that includes a supplemental public safety payment.
