Non-professional cameras without a removable lens are permitted on the festival grounds. If you wish to bring something a bit more heavy duty, however, there are few steps you will need to take to ensure entrance to the festival.

If you have a reason for photographing a specific performer you MUST contact their publicist in advance and receive written authorization from them prior to bringing your equipment on the grounds. You should also obtain an on-site artist liason for any day-of show credentials. Artist credentials do NOT include admission to the festival. Professional equipment is NOT permitted on the grounds without prior written permission from artist management.

If you are interested in documenting the festival grounds and crowd shots, please contact us in advance. Photography requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis PRIOR TO opening day. Requests not submitted PRIOR TO opening day of the festival CANNOT be guaranteed.

Please specify your publication and include a contact name and number for verification. Incomplete requests cannot be honored.

If you have further questions or if you would like to obtain press credentials, please contact our Marketing and PR Manager, Clint Baer, at 414.273.2680 or via email at mediarequests@summerfest.com
