The sweet smell of summer is in the air, and for Milwaukeeans that means one thing: Summerfest. Billed as the "World's Largest Music Festival," it's 11 days of nonstop fun — it just can't disappoint! There is something for everyone, too, whether it be, country, rock, pop, or even rap. And, for the little munchkins, there's children fest. Here are nine things to look forward to.
1. Realizing just how old you are
When you see middle schoolers left unattended, you can't help but wonder where their mom is and if she knows just how naughty her child is acting.
2. The bus ride
The buses. They're cheap and they stop drunk driving. Win-win! This is the time when everybody starts chugging whatever they're drinking, so that means rowdy buss rides.
3. Largest music fest
For 11 days, you get to experience the sounds of joy from your favorite musicians. The best part is that half of them are on free stages.
4. The heat
People will stand in the hot, blazing heat all day long for hours just to see their favorite artist perform. If this is not dedication, I don't know what is.
5. The creepers
Apart from the wonderful music, there will always be the little nasties who won't leave you alone and just need your number likes it's oxygen.
6. Squeezing through crowds
In order to do Summerfest right, you need to be able to squeeze through the crowds to find to perfect vantage point for the concert.
7. The smells
The smells of hormones will fill the air. Girls will usually be sporting too-short crop tops and too-skimpy shorts. Meanwhile, boys will be wearing the classic bro tanks and probably a snap back.
8. Location
Is there any better way to enjoy a concert than by also seeing the gorgeous Lake Michigan?
9. The memories
No matter how crazy of a time you have, you'll always how the memories to looks back on with a smile. As Fall Out Boy said, "Thnks fr th mmrs"
