In case you missed it, the 37th annual PrideFest took place at Henry Maier Festival Park from Thursday, June 5 through Sunday, June 7. We were there and it was great! Now that the dust has settled and the numbers have been crunched, we can officially let you know it was also record-setting.

Tuesday, Milwaukee Pride—the parent organization of responsible for hosting Wisconsin’s largest LGBTQ+ event—announced this year’s attendance figures. A total of 46,168 people passed through the turnstiles during 2025’s fest. That’s over 2,000 more attendees than last year’s then-record-setting total of 43,964.

Congrats to Milwaukee Pride for putting on a great three-day event that brought out a record number of people. We’ll see you next year!
