More than just great music: Summerfest's 2016 food lineup offers old favorites, new fare

MILWAUKEE -- A visit to Summerfest wouldn’t be complete without enjoying festival food from 45 of the best local and national vendors.

From staples like Saz’s, who’ve been returning to the festival for over 30 years, to brand new vendors like Chubby’s Cheesesteaks, Summerfest’s 2016 food lineup (much like the music) offers something for everyone.

Summerfest is always looking to add new vendors and unique menu and beverage items to the delicious list, keeping industry trends and fan favorites in mind.  This year is no exception, offering patrons plenty of unique choices, old favorites and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.
