Summerfest 2016 may have come and gone, but the memories will live forever – because we at OnMilwaukee took enough photos and video to fill a large hard drive.

The whole staff chipped in with reviews and feature stories (and boy are we tired).

But before we call the Big Gig a wrap and start wrapping our smiley faces around the 50th anniversary next year, here’s a look back at the sights and sounds of Summerfest 2016.

Fest on, Milwaukee. Fest on.

Andy is the president, publisher and founder of OnMilwaukee. He returned to Milwaukee in 1996 after living on the East Coast for nine years, where he wrote for The Dallas Morning News Washington Bureau and worked in the White House Office of Communications. He was also Associate Editor of The GW Hatchet, his college newspaper at The George Washington University.

Before launching OnMilwaukee.com in 1998 at age 23, he worked in public relations for two Milwaukee firms, most of the time daydreaming about starting his own publication.

Hobbies include running when he finds the time, fixing the rust on his '75 MGB, mowing the lawn at his cottage in the Northwoods, and making an annual pilgrimage to Phoenix for Brewers Spring Training.
