Milwaukee Pridefest 2025

Milwaukee PrideFest is Wisconsin’s largest LGBTQ+ event, an annual celebration of diversity and community held at Henry Maier Festival Park. What began in 1988 as a smaller gathering has grown into a multi-day festival drawing tens of thousands of attendees, offering a vibrant array of entertainment across multiple stages, including music, comedy, and drag performances. Beyond the festivities, PrideFest also features a marketplace, health and wellness resources, and aims to provide an inclusive and welcoming space for everyone while also serving as a platform for advocacy and education for the LGBTQ+ community. Organized by Milwaukee Pride, Inc., it kicks off Milwaukee’s summer festival season each June.
