101 Photos of the Spectacular Pridefest Milwaukee

With an amazing line up: Jussie Smollet, the B-52s, Cash Cash, Daya, and Jojo -- and that's just a tiny portion -- this Pride celebration has grown into an amazing festival for this Mid-Western region.

The full entertainment schedule for the events of last weekend were as long as the phone book (ask your parents.)

Despite grey skies, unseasonable cold and intermittent rain showers, PrideFest Milwaukee conquered the weekend weather with unprecedented attendance outcomes.

For the seventh consecutive year, PrideFest delivered record-breaking attendance with 45,400 visitors in 2018. This number reflects a 21% increase over the previous record of 37,682 set in 2017. This is the single largest year-over-year increase in the 31-year history of PrideFest Milwaukee.

Start scheduling your Pride travel schedule to hit Milwaukee next summer. The vibe, the people, and the Pride are all inspiring.
