Following the tradition of the Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany, with a similar ethnic-themed festival, Milwaukee is celebrating its yearly music festival held at the 75-acre Henry Maier Festival Park, called “Summerfest 2009″,  also known as The Big Gig.  Summerfest 2009 will take place on June 25 until July 5 from noon to midnight daily.
