With all due respect to earlier-occurring newcomers Riverwest FemFest and Cream City Comedy Festival, Milwaukee’s festival season truly and officially begins with PrideFest. The first fest to hit Henry Maier Festival Park offers attendees a wide array of entertainment over a long weekend in early June. Performers range from musicians, comedians, DJs, drag performers, poets, and more. PrideFest Milwaukee 2019 (June 6-9) is no exception.
Despite being the city’s first festival, its entire list of entertainers is one of the last to be revealed. Today, less than a week from opening night, PrideFest officially has a lineup. Here it is! All stages are listed from opener to headliner. Check PrideFest’s official website for set times and more information.
