Milwaukee's festival season is here, and it all starts with PrideFest



MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee's summer festival season is here -- and it all starts with PrideFest. Justin Williams spent the morning at Henry W. Maier Festival Park  to preview all the fun.



PrideFest History (website)

Milwaukee Pride, Inc. may be the city’s newest LGBT+ organization, but we proudly carry forward a rich, three-decade legacy of community service.

Our organization has its roots in the Milwaukee Lesbian/Gay Pride Committee, which formed in 1987 to host the city’s very first pride picnic, and in PrideFest Inc., who fostered the growth and development of that picnic into a three-day lakefront festival attracting over 30,000 annual visitors.

Over the years, the enduring commitment of unpaid volunteers — at every level of the organization — have contributed to the lasting success of PrideFest Milwaukee.
