Slurp up these festival stories packed with vitamins, minerals and everything you need to spike your summer fun. The Summer Festivals Guide is brought to you by Punch Bowl Social. Come on in – it’s time we all win at adulting.

It's time to gear up for the World's Largest Music Festival, which takes place now through July 7 (closed July 1). And that means loosening your belt to make room for some of the delicious new festival foods. 

As usual, Summerfest favorites like Saz's sampler platter, turkey legs and roasted ears of corn on the cob aren't going anywhere; however, there will be a variety of new foods to satiate your festival cravings.

Brand new experiences

Pizza Man will be at Summerfest for the very first time in 2019, and they’ll be selling pizza (whole pies or slices) and housemade eggplant fries in the American Family Insurance Amphitheater Forecourt. 

There’s also a brand new Red Bull Bar, which will feature a variety of Red Bull themed cocktails; appropriately, it will be right next door to JoJo’s Martini Lounge. Last, but not least, a brand new wine bar will make its debut. Called Vintage 1968, this new concept will offer wines by the glass or bottle near the BMO Harris Pavilion (both Summerfest Corkskrew locations will also be open).

Some familiar vendors are also shifting spots. BelAir Cantina will have a second location in the Briggs & Stratton Big Backyard where guests can enjoy their popular tacos.

Saz’s Express will also add a location at the north end of the grounds in the Ethnic Village.

Meanwhile, Sil’s Mini Donuts will introduce a new location near the BMO Harris Pavilion where they’ll dish out mini doughnuts, coffee and tea.  On the beverage side, a third Pepsi Beverage Station will be added to the South Marketplace near the BMO Harris Pavilion.

There are also a host of new foods and beverages (including a number of non-alcoholic options) being added to the line-up including snacks, sandwiches and sweet treats.
