Henry Maier Festival Park, Festival park on Lake Michigan in Milwaukee, United States.
Henry Maier Festival Park is a large venue along Lake Michigan with multiple stages and a major amphitheater for outdoor performances. The grounds provide ample space for concerts, shows, and cultural programming throughout the year.
The site was once a military installation that changed to a public venue in 1969. It has served since as the permanent home for Summerfest, the city's largest music festival.
