MILWAUKEE — Summerfest is relaxing its carry-in policy for Saturday, June 21 due to extreme heat in the forecast, the music festival announced Friday.
Guests will be allowed to bring in one factory-sealed plastic water bottle that's 20 ounces or less (not including the American Family Insurance Amphitheater).
