Klement’s becomes official sausage of Summerfest with sponsorship and beer garden deal

Milwaukee World Festival officials recently announced a new ten year sponsorship agreement with Klement’s Sausage Company.

The sponsorship includes the building of a new stage area, “The Klement’s Sausage & Beer Garden,” as well as Klement’s being named the Official Sausage of Summerfest.

The Klement’s Sausage & Beer Garden will be located on the North End of Henry Maier Festival Park and will feature acoustic music from 2-8 p.m. daily, spotlighting local artists. Modelled as a backyard picnic-style area, there will be a seated lounge area, picnic tables, and barbeque grills, as well as locations to purchase Klement’s products.

“A Klement’s and Summerfest partnership is music to our ears. Nothing sounds like summer in our hometown more than The World’s Largest Music Festival and nothing tastes like summer more than Milwaukee’s hometown sausage company,” said Tom Danneker, President and CEO of Klement’s Sausage Company. “We are excited to join together to offer our products at the festival and make a hometown tradition even better by building the new Klement’s Sausage & Beer Garden. We look forward to this long term partnership as we continue to invest in Milwaukee to help our hometown and company grow.”

Construction will begin immediately on the new Klement’s Sausage & Beer Garden, which will make its debut during Summerfest 2018.

“We are thrilled to welcome Klement’s Sausage Company to our sponsorship family with a ten year commitment,” said Don Smiley, President and CEO of Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. “Sponsorships such as this one allows us to continue to add amenities to Summerfest and Henry Maier Festival Park and keep it accessible and affordable for all of our fans,” added Danneker.
