June is Pride Month! And Pride is for … EVERYONE. While Pride Month is a dedicated celebration and commemoration of activism for the LGBTQ+ community, it is also an opportunity to embrace diversity, inclusion, and equality. Plus, it’s just so much fun!
Milwaukee is host to some of the biggest Pride celebrations in the state. While many are very inclusive for all ages, we recommend grown-ups use common sense and their judgment about what activities will be most appropriate for their kids at their specific ages.
PRIDEFEST MILWAUKEE
- June 4th – 6th, 2026; Thurs 4 pm – midnight, Friday 3 pm – midnight, Saturday 12 pm – midnight
- Summerfest Grounds

PrideFest Milwaukee has been Wisconsin’s largest LGBTQ celebration since 1987. Held on the Summerfest grounds each year, you can expect a vibrant atmosphere, live music and performers, tons of vendors owned by members of the queer community, opportunities to support charities devoted to serving area LGBTQ residents, and so much more.
All ages are welcome at PrideFest, but kids 16 and under do require adult supervision. Many of the events most appropriate for younger kids will take place earlier in the day.
