My guess would be about 170k people. That's about how many people showed up at the 105th summerfest.

It should be a pretty fun event. I went to the 105th and had a blast.

Agreed. Granted, living here, my plans were easy.

The 105th was a lot of fun, but substantially lower key than the 100th.

Definitely worth the trip. Tons to see & do in Milwaukee. The city bends over backwards for Harley. We like them here.

There's a thread referenced in the beginning of THIS thread where someone else lists campgrounds.

There's a RV campground just west of downtown. That's the closest.

Other than that, I'm kinda lost with campgrounds.

Lot of riders. When HD throws an event in Milwaukee it goes well.
You can come on a budget and still have a good time or you can blow a wad of cash.
Every Dealer in the area has fre events going on. Some dam good rides in the area.
I live just out side Milwaukee and will be there most of the 4 days with friends from out of town.
