We want everyone to have a fun, safe experience at the Milwaukee Pride Parade. Please stay safely on the sidewalk and/or behind barricades at all times during the parade. Be kind and courteous to those around you. Pick up your own trash to care for the neighborhood.

Carry-in alcoholic beverages are not permitted in the route per Wisconsin law. Visit one of the bars along the route to purchase and enjoy your alcoholic beverages. Alcohol is not permitted on, or in, any unit of the Milwaukee Pride Parade.

The Milwaukee Pride Parade is a rain or shine event, so please dress and prepare accordingly.

To travel through the 2nd Street area, which supports the Milwaukee Pride Parade, to the festival grounds would require not only street closures but water/bridge closures as well. This would add significant costs and logistic concerns that we simply cannot overcome at this time.

While the cost changes each year, the rough numbers are about $10-12,000.00.

We are! The Milwaukee Pride Parade is operated by a Board of Directors who self elect and expand as required.
