The City of Milwaukee Health Department and Summerfest are encouraging residents to get a COVID-19 vaccine at a drive-thru clinic next weekend.
Those who do get a vaccine at the clinic will get a free ticket to Summerfest 2021, valid for any day of the festival.
The drive-thru clinic will be on June 5 and June 6 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. No appointments are needed.
“We are all looking forward to a summer full of festivals and live music, and we know the only way to do this safely is through vaccinations,” said Health Commissioner Kirsten Johnson. “We’re grateful to Summerfest for offering a convenient option for our community to get vaccinated, with a generous incentive to those who participate.”
