Are you a Fan for Life winner? On Sunday, July 9, Summerfest distributed 30,000 tickets valid for admission to Summerfest 2018. Each ticket contained a symbol correlating to a prize in the Fan for Life promotion.  

Festival officials announced that as of today there are unclaimed Fan for Life prizes and, in an effort to award their fans, have extended the deadline to Aug. 31, at 5 p.m. The Fan for Life giveaway took place during a special "Cheers to 50 Years" ceremony as a way to wrap up the 50th edition of the festival and thank fans for their loyalty and support.

If Summerfest patrons received a ticket during the Fan for Life promotion, check the prize symbols located on the lower left front of the Summerfest 2018 ticket to determine if it’s a winning ticket:

  • "50 Years of Smiles" – Summerfest commemorative book
  • Winners should come to the Summerfest offices (639 E. Summerfest Place, Milwaukee, Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.) to pick up the book
