Festival attending on a budget takes focus and solid decision-making. It's easy to blow through big bucks when we don't check in with our inner-banker. That said, there are many ways to have a rich experience at Summerfest on a mere $20. In case you missed it, here's last week's.
And here is our idea for this week.
Spend zero dollars at the gate
Every day, there is a way to get into free at Summerfest. And it does not include jumping any gates or swimming in. Here's the full list of the promotions.
Drink during Happy Hour
Summerfest and Molson Coors paired up this year to host a daily Happy Hour from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. During this time, select Molson Coors products are $6. To read about more ways to save on beer, go here.
Drink, eat and carouse
We went for classic Johnsonville sausages: the Summerville Brat ($10) with sauerkraut, mustard and pickle relish; and the Northern Walking brat, served in a tortilla and garnished with queso sauce, pico de gallo and crushed Fritos ($10.50). It was easy to eat while walking around, filling and festival food-ish. Perfect!
