The Bud Pavilion

​​

Established in 1987, the Bud Pavilion is one of the premier live music venues in the Milwaukee area. The Bud Pavilion, a large indoor/outdoor venue, holds nearly 50 live music events every season, which typically run from May-September.  The Bud Pavilion hosts Wednesday Night Live, a popular weekly summer concert series, featuring a different cover band from southeast Wisconsin each week. During the Wisconsin State Fair, the Bud Pavilion hosts 33 bands over the 11 days of the Fair (that’s three bands each day!). Harvest Fair closes out the summer live music season with a three-day festival at the end of September where we host our five final shows of the year. 

 

We have multiple bars serving beverages including Busch Light, Michelob Ultra, and other domestic, local craft and imported beer offerings. We also have a great selection of mixed drinks and craft cocktails, ready-to-drink cocktails, wine, seasonal specialty beverages, and N/A offerings. The Bud Pavilion offers a great selection of snacks and meals at "The Grill" including burgers, fries, chicken tenders, cheese curds, popcorn, and other similar items.

 

The Bud Pavilion is more than a live music venue, or a place to get a great drink, it's tradition. This is where people come year after year - for Wednesday Night Live, the Wisconsin State Fair, and Harvest Fair. Enjoy a warm summer day or evening, gather with family and good friends, experience the highest caliber multi-media live entertainment, sit down to some tasty beverages and food, and celebrate all that is great in Wisconsin in the summertime. We take customer service very seriously. Our job is helping patrons have the best experiences possible with us. We work hard to make every visit to the Bud Pavilion exceptional. We strive to serve the coldest beer, the most delicious cocktails, and the tastiest food. In addition, we provide the best entertainment. It's all served with what we believe is the most friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and fun-loving staff on the grounds. We want to play an important part in making the best summer memories for all our customers, and we hope you'll stop in and visit us!
