11 days of live music with more than 700 bands and artists on more than a dozen stages at Henry Maier Festival Park has come to an end. It was a hot, sweaty 11 days as triple-digit temperatures swept through the city, but that didn’t stop all of the fun at Summerfest 2012.

People all over Milwaukee took to social media to share in the fun, and many Big Gig headliners got in on the action. Neil Diamond wasn’t the only one who was tweeting up a storm in the Cream City, everyone from your favorite local band to some of the biggest names in music had something to say about our beloved hometown festival.
