When you attend a Summerfest Milwaukee show, you might find yourself wondering what is that huge venue at the south end of the grounds? That's the Marcus Amphitheater of course! A long time ago, that part of the Summerfest grounds was where you would find a midway. You could go on on of those rickety rides, eat a corn dog, or try your luck at a stuffed animal prize.
Summerfest needed a permanent stage for the biggest acts. They built the Marcus Amphitheater just for that need. The midway took its place in history when that happened. When you look at a Marcus Amphitheater seating chart, you can see that the venue can hold thousands of people, all under one roof. Rain or shine Summerfest fans will enjoy the show.
