SummerFest Announces Kapco Kids Tickets

For the third year in a row, Summerfest has announced its Kapco Kids Tickets program. This program allows kids 13 and under to get into Summerfest free from noon until 3 p.m. every day. All they must do is present their Kapco Kids Tickets at the gate, which they can find at various Summerfest partners and Kapco. According to a quote Jim Kacmarcik - president of Kapco Inc. - gave to BizJournals.com, "We are happy to once again be partnering with Summerfest for the third year on the Kapco Kids Tickets program. Providing an opportunity for children to experience the excitement of Summerfest at no cost aligns with our mission here at Kapco to have a meaningful impact on people’s lives and give back to the community,” he said.
