Harley-Davidson's time as major Summerfest sponsor comes to an end
MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. released a statement on Thursday, Nov. 5 that said Harley-Davidson's role as a major sponsor of the fest has come to an end.
The statement says the motorcycle maker has been a sponsor for the last two decades -- and goes on to say the following:

"As times change, Summerfest, the Milwaukee business community, and our sponsors evolve, bringing new opportunities. All of us at Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. are looking forward to a new chapter of the festival in 2021, including bringing on new partners to grow Summerfest. The magic of music is at the core of the Summerfest experience, and the same world-class performances will live on, allowing a new generation of performers and fans to create festival memories."
