MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee World Festival (MWF) officials announced Tuesday a new multi-year sponsorship agreement with Potawatomi Hotel & Casino.
The deal includes naming rights of the Potawatomi Founder's Club and a premium VIP hospitality area located at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater.
“It’s a great opportunity for these two homegrown institutions to work and grow together to make Milwaukee a can’t miss destination for people throughout the country,” said Dominic Ortiz, CEO and General Manager of Potawatomi Hotel & Casino. “This is such an exciting time for Potawatomi Hotel & Casino to partner with Summerfest as the ‘World’s Largest Music Festival’ becomes bigger and better than ever.”
To celebrate the support, there will be a BIG WIN giveaway on Fan Appreciation Day on July 9 at Summerfest where five lucky winners will have a chance to win $1 million dollars.
During Fan Appreciation Day, all fans arriving between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. can get into Summerfest for free. The first 30,000 fans will also receive one free Summerfest 2023 ticket and a BIG WIN entry ticket.
The BIG WIN drawing for the opportunity to win $1 million dollars will take place on the Miller Lite Oasis Stage at 4 p.m. Participants will roll one dice at a time.
